Britain expecting snow and sub-zero temperatures | Daily Mail Online

Britain's dry and calm weekend of weather this weekend is expected to be brought to an abrupt halt as sub-zero temperatures and snow are forecast across large parts of the country.

Heading into Monday and Tuesday, the Met Office has issued an alert for snow and ice for all of Scotland and most of Northern Ireland as the calm weather of the weekend takes a turn for the worse.

Up to four inches could fall over those two days, with forecasters warning of blizzards and frequent lightning strikes, which could cause power cuts and mass travel disruption.

Temperatures around the country are expected to plummet following this week's relatively mild weather, with some parts of the country expected to be gripped by lows of -6C next week.

Patchy mist and cloudy conditions are expected for many tomorrow, although there will be sunny spells in south-west England throughout the day.

Glasgow: Coldest March day with a high of 32 F (O C).
Lerwick on Shetland: Coldest March day since 1937 with a high of 28 F (minus 2.3 C).

Below are a few of the higher snow totals provided by the Irish meteorological service, Met Eireann:
