SNOW will hit the UK next week during the coldest winter for 13 years, forecasters are predicting.

Freezing temperatures are set to take hold on Sunday, bringing heavy snow and bitterly cold winds on Monday and Tuesday.

People will need to wrap up warm and expect disruption on the roads.

Rachel Vince, of MeteoGroup, said: “Next week is looking distinctly colder than this week.”

“On Sunday we are looking at showers coming from the east and turning increasingly wintry as the day progresses.”
