The UK is to be hit with a 600-mile wall of snow over the coming days from a -10C Scandinavian freeze.Maps show up to 78 inches of snow falling in Scotland along with widespread flurries in a cold snap that is expected to last into the second week of December.

The deepest snow will be seen in the Scottish Highlands, with Glasgow and Edinburgh seeing a lighter covering. The Met Office said: “There will be widespread overnight frosts for much of the UK in the coming days and a risk of snow for some regions."Much colder conditions are expected to affect the UK for the rest of this week and into the weekend, with daytime temperatures rooted in single figures and overnight temperatures falling well below freezing in many places.

With the UK sitting in cold air from Scandinavia the weather is turning much colder for the rest of this week and the start of next with daytime temperatures struggling to get above single figures and overnight temperatures staying below freezing for much of the country.”Daytime temperatures are expected to drop to single-digit figures this week and night temperatures are expected to stay below freezing for large parts of Scotland and England, reports the Mirror.Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Neil Armstrong, said: “We’ve already seen snow settling in parts of eastern Scotland and northeastern England.

As the cold air continues to spread across the UK we also expect to see some snow over the high ground of southwest England overnight tonight and through tomorrow.“Snow showers will continue along the North Sea coast with a northeasterly air flow, leading to further accumulations over higher ground.
