Met Office says ‘two’ parts of England set to be spared 48-hour snow storm

All the parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set for MORE snow before the end of January have been revealed by the Met Office. Maps and charts from WX Charts show a fresh, 48-hour snow storm sweeping the country.

At around 3pm on Wednesday, snow will hit north of the border in Scotland, as well as the north of England, Wales and parts of the south coast. Up to 25cm is expected to hit Scotland, with 10cm in England and 15cm in north Wales.

The east of England and East Midlands will be spared, maps show. Met Office Chief Forecaster Jason Kelly said in a fresh update: “With cold weather persisting across the UK this week we have a number of severe weather warnings for wintry hazards.

“Snow showers will continue to fall over Scotland, Northern Ireland and into Northern Wales and northern England too. Where surface water and snow freeze overnight there is a risk of ice as temperatures widely dip below freezing.

“There will however be good spells of sunshine for those away from northern coasts, though it’ll still feel cold in the northerly breeze. Cloudier in the far west, with patchy rain and snow possible. Frosty nights.”
