Snow to fall in days as Brits brace for icy blast with heavy rain & wild winds | The Sun
BRITAIN will be frozen by an icy blast of snow next week as heavy rain and wild winds are also forecast to batter the country.
The Met Office has warned snow will fall in areas of Scotland as the mercury plunges below zero on Tuesday and Wednesday.
And the snow is unlikely to melt anytime soon as Britain braces itself for an autumnal cold snap starting next week.
A Met Office spokesperson told The Sun: "There is a bit of snow in showers over the Scottish mountains next week.
"This will fall in the Cairngorms, in the Highlands and in non-populated areas from the middle of next week.
"I wouldn't have thought that snow which will fall is likely to melt.

"And I would think it [snow] will be a consistent thing that will stay there throughout now."
The Met Office stressed snowfall in these areas is nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year.
But the forecasters told The Sun the mercury will plunge to freezing for many living in northern areas from the middle of next week.
This will be accompanied by wet and windy spells at times blowing in from the west.
