Met Office weather forecast issues ice warning and UK snow
The Met Office has issued snow warnings for parts of the UK ahead of this weekend.
Some parts of the country are expected to experience between 4-6 inches of snow as an arctic blast is set to hit.
The arctic blast, which has been dubbed ‘Troll of Trondheim’, is set to sweep across the south of the UK.
Not only will it bring freezing cold temperatures with it, but snow too.
Temperatures plummeted once more today (December 8), with some areas of the UK waking up to 0C temperatures.
Manchester had a temperature of -4C this morning, whilst the capital city experienced temperatures of -2C.
However, Manchester and London are going to be missing out on snow this time, unfortunately.
Instead, it is expected to fall in North Highland, Moray, and Aberdeenshire up in the north of Scotland.
The Met Office has issued those areas with a yellow warning ahead of the weekend. This warning will remain in place until 12pm on Sunday (December 11).
