Storm Dave is forecast to slam into northern parts of the UK over the Easter weekend, with the Met Office warning that blizzard conditions, 90mph winds and up to 12 inches of snow could hit parts of Scotland from Friday afternoon into the early hours of Sunday.
The news came after the Met Office issued an updated yellow snow warning for northern Scotland, active from 2pm today until 3am on Sunday. The alert, which covers higher ground and some lower-lying areas, sets out the risk of heavy snowfall, drifting snow in open country and potential disruption to power and travel. It is the latest in a string of volatile spring weather episodes that have repeatedly derailed holiday plans in recent years.
