BRITS faces snow today – as an Arctic blast hits which is set to last for a whole month.
Weather forecasters warn snow flurries are possible across country, but most likely to hit the north.
And there will be even more of the white stuff this weekend with six inches expected.
A band of rain will sweep eastwards across the country on Wednesday morning, before turning into snow later in the day.
Some parts of the country might see up to 15cm of snow settling as a low pressure system spreads.
A chilling wind hits later on Wednesday with the Met Office warning it will be a “shock to the system”.
Mteorologist Marco Petagna said: “Things are turning colder, but it is just more typical winter conditions.
“It has been so mild this winter that it will be a bit of a shock to the system even though temperatures will be average for this time of year or just below.”
He warned of more rough weather to follow, adding: “There’s quite a lot of uncertainty about how things will play out.”
Areas such as the Southern Uplands, Pennines, Cumbrian Fells, Peak District, the high ground of Northern Ireland, Snowdonia and the Cambrian Mountains, could see a light covering.
A forecast from Meteogroup said: “[Tomorrow] it will be a damp start in the south-east, but rain will clear away to the east.
“Elsewhere, there will be a mixture of clear spells and scattered showers, some of which will be wintry, especially over high ground.
“Showers will turn increasingly to snow later across Scotland and northern England. Winds will be rather brisk.”
On Thursday much of eastern parts of England and Scotland will see wintry showers and for many western areas it will be “snow” on Friday.

There could even be a chance of snow on the North York Moors and maybe a few flakes in Norfolk by Thursday morning, according to John Hammond, chief meteorologist for Weathertrending.
He added: “By Friday, as a low pressure system spreads rain from the west, there’s a chance of it turning to snow over the Western Highlands, Cumbrian Fells and the Welsh Mountains.
“This cold spell is not directly related to the recent Alpine snow.
“Our cold snow is coming from the north, not the east.
“However, there are signs that later in the month and into February we may start to tap into some of that much colder Continental air.”
It comes after Continental Europe was hit by a “once in 30 years” big freeze as ten feet of snow brought chaos and at least 21 were killed.
FIVE-DAY FORECAST
Tuesday – Tonight will be cloudy, mild and damp with colder and more showery conditions moving into the far northwest towards dawn.
Wednesday – Heavy rain across much of England and Wales, with colder weather following and bringing snow over northern hills.
Thursday to Sunday – It is expected to be much colder with frost and ice predicted. Wintry showers in the north should set in on Thursday, with more hill snow arriving on Friday and going into Saturday.
The UK has dodged that Eastern chiller killer — but now a separate blast is on the way from the frozen Pole north of Iceland.
Wintry showers set to hit the North of England and Scotland from Wednesday to Friday could also sweep further south along with bitter gales.
The Weather Company even predicted a deep freeze of -17C some time after the weekend.
Brian Gaze, director and meteorologist for The Weather Outlook, told The Sun Online: “The cold spell in Europe has been caused by an area of high pressure close to the UK blocking the flow of Atlantic weather systems into Europe.

“That pattern has opened the gates for very cold Arctic air to plunge southwards over much of the continent.
“During the coming days the UK will get a taste of the colder weather as the high pressure areas become centred further west in the Atlantic.
“In the longer term there is a chance of a more prolonged period of cold weather becoming established in the UK.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
