Scots set for snow as UK to be hit by two blizzards with '10cm per hour' falling

Scots could be set for snow, with forecasters predicting two huge blizzards will hit the UK in the coming days. The temperatures are set to drop, with the start of March seeing a cold snap as the result of a stratospheric warming (SSW) event.

It was the same type of weather event that came before the infamous Beast from the East snow storms that brought the country to a standstill in 2018. Weather modelling maps predict minor flurries of snow are set to his the northern regions of the UK on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5, before the two blizzards land in the space of just three days.

The south of the nation is predicted to be hit by the first in the early hours of Thursday March 9 impacting most of the country south of Birmingham overnight. Cardiff appears to be getting the worst of the weather, with London also expected to see some snow.
