UK is set for worst snow in a decade – here's when and where it will hit

The UK is set to be plunged into an icy blast as low as -12C in some areas, with the snowfall predicted to rival the deluges of 2009 and 2010 even being forecast by some meteorologists.   
And it also means that the parts of the UK, which have been battered by heavy rain and flooding in recent days, are going to face more pain as the various bodies of water will be turning to thick ice – without being given the chance to dissipate first.

James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, warned: "There is the potential for what could be a widespread snow event across large parts of the country.

"The snow is likely to hit northern regions first, but we now expect southern areas to see some snow within this period.

"This could be heavy in parts, and lead to accumulation, and this is likely to cause disruption on the roads and travel networks."
