A -13°C Arctic blast is expected to hit Britain one day next week, with flakes as high as 60 centimetres.
Much of the nation woke up to very low temperatures today after a balmy Christmas, and these conditions are expected to persist over the next several days and into next week.
The cold snap is caused by cold air flowing southward, and when it collides with low pressure systems that are coming in from the west and south,
Snow will fall, particularly in northern regions. According to a Netweather graphic, the north of England, Wales, and northern Scotland might have 60 cm of snowfall on January 7.
With the exception of coastal regions, where there will be less, there is predicted to be a lot of snowfall across.
