Forecasters pinpoint when February snowfall is expected in Lincoln
Parts of Lincolnshire could experience some snow showers next week as temperatures continue to drop. The Met Office has warned in its long range forecast that there is a risk of some sleet or snow showers across the UK from Sunday, February 9, until Tuesday, February 18.
The government body states: "High pressure will likely sit to the northeast of the UK during this period. Consequently, winds across many areas are likely to come from an easterly quadrant, exacerbating the cold feel, with temperatures often below average.
"At first, there is the chance of more widespread precipitation, most likely mainly rain, across southernmost areas, before this clears away. Thereafter, there is a risk of some sleet or snow showers feeding in on the east to southeasterly wind, though many places may remain dry.

"Also a small chance of Atlantic fronts making inroads from the west, especially later in this period, which could also bring the possibility of at least transient snow. Overnight frost is likely to feature during this period, particularly where skies are clear."
Whilst the Met Office has not forecast any snow specifically for Lincolnshire as of yet, it has been forecast by The Weather Channel. The organisation has predicted a mix of rain and snow showers for Lincoln on the morning of Monday, February 15.
Meanwhile the BBC weather forecast states sleet is expected on Saturday, February 8, from 7am until 9am. Lincoln itself is not expected to rise above 6C From Friday, February 7, to Tuesday, February 11, according to the Met Office.
The county is braced for lows of 1C and 2C, although at times it will feel colder.
