Britain will continue to face freezing weather conditions as the latest weather maps show a 473-mile snow bomb smashing the country days after an Arctic freeze.
Maps from WXCharts have turned a mix of white and purple from areas ranging from Wick to Manchester indicating the possibility of snow across these regions on March 5.
The weather conditions will leave many parts of the country covered with snow as the temperature levels plummet to -5C in the northernmost tip of Britain.
Areas such as Wick, Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Manchester seem to be the worst affected.
The return of the snowy conditions comes days after an Artic freeze this weekend with a possibility of snowfall for 84 hours in some parts of the country.
Today:
A frosty start with patchy fog clearing quickly. Rain and hill snow in the southwest, spreading northeast and turning heavy at times, with blustery showers following behind. Drier elsewhere, although showers in the far north. Breezy and feeling cold.
Tonight:
Rain and hill snow continues to move north overnight. Heavy showers across much of England and Wales, wintry over hills, with clear intervals between allowing patchy frost and fog.
Saturday:
Remaining unsettled on Saturday with further outbreaks of rain and showers, often wintry over the hills. Some brighter interludes, but still feeling cold, although winds gradually easing.
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Winds continue to ease on Sunday and drier for most, although a few showers are still possible. Further wet weather into next week but temperatures slowly returning closer to average.
