Met Office gives verdict on 'Beast from the East' rumoured to cover UK in snow

The Met Office has responded to reports that up to four inches of snow could hit the UK within days.

Reports have predicted that "a Beast from the East" could plummet the UK's temperature resulting in a thick downfall of snow in just a matter of days. But the weather experts have debunked the rumours and said that while temperatures have significantly dropped it doesn't look like we can expect a white winter just yet.

Jim Dale, meteorologist for British Weather Services said: "There is a change in weather patterns now looking likely at the start of December. If this happens, we are in a classic position to get a cold flow in from the east, and with that, snow, ice and very cold winds."
