The UK faces a 36-hour snow blizzard next week with 54 counties in the UK hammered. Parts of the country face waking up to 3cm of snow, maps and charts from WX Charts display, with the flurries spanning Friday, January 24, to the weekend.
England is at risk alongside Scotland, with the north of the border being worst-hit. Despite Scotland facing the brunt, according to Met Desk predictions, north west England and south west England also face a heavy dusting.
The 36-hour snow storm spans into Saturday, January 25. 54 counties are forecast to be hammered, including Aberdeenshire in Scotland, as well as Angus, Argyll, Ayrshire, Banffshire, Berwickshire, Buteshire, Caithness and Clackmannanshire.

Renfrewshire Ross and Cromarty and Roxburghshire will also be hit alongside Selkirkshire, Shetland, Stirlingshire, Sutherland, West Lothian, Wigtownshire and the Isle of Anglesey. In Wales, Gwynedd and Conwy face being hit alongside Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham and Ceredigion and Powys.
English counties due for a dusting include Northumberland, Cumbria and Durham as well as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, the West Midlands, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, the Humber and Warwickshire.
In the short-term, the BBC states: “It is going to become milder soon though largely dry through next week. Later on a wetter and, above all, windier pattern is more likely to return, with temperatures remaining above average.”
Looking further ahead, the Beeb adds: “In the next update, we will see whether a more settled pattern manages to persist for some or if our weather becomes widely dominated by low pressure systems moving in from the Atlantic.”
It comes after the country was struck by the coldest night in over a DECADE this weekend, with -20C lows.
