HERE COMES THUNDERSNOW! UK to be hit by EIGHT INCHES of snow from tomorrow – and it could fall anywhere in country

Met Office issues yellow weather warning ahead of bitter winds and sub-zero conditions which could see some areas battered by 'thundersnow'

A DRAMATIC plunge in temperatures could see snow “anywhere in the country” – with blizzards predicted as far south as Norfolk by the end of the week.

“Thundersnow” is expected to batter Britain as bitter winds from the North Pole spark sub-zero conditions of -10C (14F), which would be colder than current temperatures in Iceland.

The Met Office said the chilly conditions will move southwards and showers will become increasingly wintry from Wednesday.

A change in the wind by the start of Friday is set to bring snow showers to the north of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the North York Moors, and maybe even Norfolk.

Parts of the South East will also start to be affected, although Ms Sharples said the snow falling in these regions will come in showers and is unlikely to build up.

But she warned: “Even a centimetre of snow in this country can obviously cause some disruption.”
