Heavy snow is set to hit parts of the United Kingdom in a matter of hours with another Arctic freeze predicted and one forecaster warning of a "widespread risk". The most recent weather maps from WXCHARTS, the same charts used to predict the Polar Vortex in January, the Sudden Stratospheric Warming in February and the Artic blast in March that led to 27 hours of snowfall and chaos, showed snow sweeping in on Saturday night (March 25) and intensifying on Sunday.
The snow was forecast for Scotland on Saturday night, before intensifying on Sunday and then spreading southwards into Northern England. Britons living in and around the border between the two countries were warned they could wake up to around 2cm of snow, with icy white patches appearing in northern England as bitterly cold weather sets in, reports Yorkshire Live.
By the middle of the day on Sunday, it was reported the entirety of Scotland could be at risk of snow, with the threat continuing to linger throughout the course of the day. The risk is much smaller for other northern areas of the UK heading into Monday, but temperatures could plunge to bitterly cold levels.
