UK weather: Britain to be battered by snow with two parts of England the worst hit

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

UK weather maps indicate that five centimetres of snow is set to "dumped" on Britain this month. The data, projected using Met Desk information, reveals a noticeable downturn in the weather as we approach Christmas.

The maps and charts forecast snowfall in the UK in mid-November. These reports are provided by meteorologists and forecasters at WX Charts, one of the leading forecasters outside the Met Office in the UK, which publishes daily updates.

The maps suggest a strong low-pressure system will sweep over the country around November 18 to 19. Forecasts predict up to 5cm of snow in parts of Scotland by mid-November as the countdown to Christmas begins.
