UK to be pelted with snow on Saturday with the north being hit the toughest
Britain is going to be pelted with snow on Saturday with Northern England and Scotland getting the most.
Precipitation, snow depth and thickness forecast for that day shows a huge blob of white hanging over most of Scotland, including Edinburgh, with 1-7cm of snow falling every single hour in the early hours. Central and southwestern areas are predicted to be hit the hardest.
Large areas of northern England from the border regions down as far as Manchester are also expected to see snowfall, with between 1-2cm of flakes falling per hour.
Sterling and Greenock are among cities and towns that could see snow depth of around 1cm.
