UK faces 'huge' snow deluge with two parts of England set to be coldest
Snow maps and charts have been published indicating exactly when the UK could be braced for a "huge deluge" of the white stuff. As we head towards December and Christmas, new maps from WXCharts and Netweather suggest that between November 19 and November 21, there is an increased chance of snowfall.
On November 19, the northwest of Scotland is to be battered with snowfall and according to Netweather, later in the day colder conditions could sweep through the west of England near the Welsh border, where there will be a 60 to 70 per cent chance of snow.
The snow risk is expected to move southeastwards on November 20, with Essex and London to suffer the coldest conditions. On November 21, snow will cover eastern parts of the UK, from Scotland down to Suffolk.

The early Met Office forecast for the final two weeks of November explains: "Signals vary in prevailing weather patterns through this period but likely more unsettled than during early November. There is a greater chance of more mobile weather patterns which would see Atlantic systems periodically move across the country.
"These bringing some wetter and windier interludes followed by drier periods. Some colder interludes, especially earlier in the period, are possible but overall temperatures more likely to be around or above average." In the short-term, a forecast for Sunday (November 10) into Monday (November 11) explains: "Skies will clear for many tonight, although staying cloudy in southern England with a few spots of drizzle.
"Turning cold under the clearing skies with frost developing for parts of the north and patch fog in prone spots." The Monday forecast adds: "Cloud in the south will gradually clear, leave a largely dry and bright day for many with plenty of sunny spells. Perhaps a few showers in the southeast."
