The Met Office has addressed rumours that a 'Beast from the East' storm could hit Britain in the coming weeks.
Reports suggested that blizzard could hit the UK in two weeks' time, bringing with it 18 hours of continuous snowfall. Impacting almost all the country, the first hints of snow were thought to fall on Friday March 3.
WXCharts, a weather forecast model, claimed the storm would spark a mega 24-hour snow blitz in the North Sea until Monday March 6, with up to six inches forecast to fall up and down England.
