Looks like we’re in for a proper wintry blast next month, with the latest weather maps suggesting snow could fall across parts of the UK for three days straight. Some areas might even see up to 10 inches settle, making it one of the most significant cold snaps of the season.
According to advanced weather modelling from ECMWF, the first flurries are expected to hit in the early hours of March 2. Northern Ireland, western Scotland, the northwest of England, and the West Midlands are all in the firing line. Greater Manchester could be in for a real dumping, with snow falling at an incredible rate of 10cm per hour around 6 a.m. Meanwhile, the Lake District might see 5cm per hour, making for some dramatic scenes.
