Weather: 'It is supposed to be spring', says Met Office as more snow on the way

The country will experience a north-south divide over the next few days, with heavy persistent rain across the South bringing flood warnings, while other parts of the country brace themselves for a blanket of white.

Heavy snow is expected across northern and central parts of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and North Wales overnight tonight and into tomorrow.

Lower levels are likely to see around four inches (10cm) while on higher ground that could reach around 16 inches (40cm).

Even areas as far south as Birmingham and Peterborough could see just over 3 inches of snow (8cm) while forecasters have warned that the wintry showers could reach London by Saturday morning.

It is too early to predict how much snow may fall in the South East, but it is looking like there may be a covering, forecasters have said.
