Sun melts away to give us snow at Easter
BRITAIN faces a white Easter as forecasters warn snow could hit parts of the country by next week.

It will come as a stark contrast to the summer-like weather the country has enjoyed for the past week.
The temperature across England next week will fall to just 48F in the North and 50F in parts of the South. April could turn out to be a damp squib with much cooler temperatures, forecasters said.
