It’s ski funday... and there’s more snow to come
SKIERS took to the slopes of England yesterday as snow brought an unexpected benefit.
Many made the most of conditions on hills from Cumbria to Derbyshire as the Met Office warned that the UK is to be hit by an icy blast from Russia.
Wednesday is set to be the coldest day of the year – with temperatures expected to fall to -8C (18F), bringing ice and
snow, as the 7,000-mile wide “Beast from the East” sweeps the UK.
Tony Waters, Met Office deputy chief forecaster, said: “Eastern and southeastern coastal counties can expect to see
frequent snow showers, but a few will spread further inland.
“With temperatures falling below freezing, snow and ice could lead to some treacherous conditions.”
