The Arctic blast is set to sweep across parts of the country in the coming days with temperatures expected to plummet to the low single digits or even below zero

Brits are set to be buffeted by an Arctic blast that is due to hit seven cities within a few days.

New WXCharts maps, which use Met Desk data , reveal the white stuff will pile up in the Highlands as well as the North West of England. On December 4, snow is forecast to come rolling in to Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester , the Scottish Borders and Highlands.

The first dusting will occur at 12am that day until as much as two inches of snow accumulates in the North West with four inches being packed in the Highlands. Similar amounts of snow will remain in both regions by 12pm that day.
