Some forecasters predicted a 'wall of snow' would hit Edinburgh on Saturday, as they said a storm coming from the Atlantic could threaten sub-zero temperatures.
One expert even believed there was now a risk of 'widespread snow' due to some computer modelling - although others said that's unlikely. He said freezing air from the USA could collide with warmer air from the Gulf of Mexico, meaning the jet stream is supercharged bringing with it colder conditions.
American forecasts expected colder weather here, while the UK's Met Office forecast wet and milder conditions. Exacta Weather’s James Madden said: “Some computer models are now favouring a bitter easterly blast later next week, and this could bring the risk of widespread snow.
