Snow maps reveal when UK will be battered by two mega blizzards from 'Arctic' winds

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Brits have been warned to prepare for two mega blizzards that are rapidly approaching the UK. Temperatures across the country are already beginning to plummet with forecasters predicting a cold snap on the horizon due to a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event.

A similar phenomenon took place prior to the Beast from the East in 2018 which resulted in weeks of freezing temperatures and heavy snow.

Forecasters can make more accurate predictions on when the snow will hit the UK and how much there could be due to advanced weather modelling maps.

WX Charts' maps demonstrate that some minor flurries will hit the North on Saturday, March 4 and Sunday, March 5 before culminating in two blizzards within three days, the Mirror reports.

"There’s no reason we won’t be seeing those kinds of temperatures if the profile I’m expecting does eventuate," said British Weather Services' Jim Dale. "Snow could well be involved, it certainly will be for Scotland and the chances are that will also be the case for a good part of the U." He continued: "This is all about what happened in the last week or two, and that’s the atmosphere above the poles warming up dramatically and sending cold air starting to spill south, that is, the vortex has started to dislocate itself.
