‌According to the GFS weather model, a significant snow system is forecast to develop east of the UK on February 8. Whilst northern England and Scotland will initially see lighter snowfall, forecasters anticipate this weather system could merge with another approaching from the south, potentially blanketing the entire country in snow, reports The Mirror. ‌The maps indicate heavy snowfall across southern England around midnight on February 8, whilst a vast purple band reveals snow spreading across the Midlands, Wales, northern England and Scotland. Depth projections point to the Scottish Highlands facing the most dramatic accumulations, with totals potentially reaching 65cm (26 inches). Meanwhile, the North Pennines could witness 16cm (six inches), whilst Northern Ireland might see 8cm (three inches) and North Wales approximately 4cm (1.5 inches).
