Our area is bracing itself for a cold snap beginning this week, with several days of snow expected.

The Met Office has warned of heavy snowfall in parts of the north of the UK early this week.

The cold spell has been called a 'mini ice age' due to Arctic plumes which will be blowing south.

This will tend to bring to a colder than average north or north westerly airflow for a time, with the most unsettled conditions likely to be across northern areas.
