Time to get your snow boots out again as snow is forecast for the midlands and North on Monday with snow showers sweeping Southwards by Tuesday morning.

The forecast for fresh snow flurries comes from Weather Commerce, a Newzealand weather forecasting group looking to take over the UK’s weather forecast from the Met Office.

Weather Commerce has predicted sleet and snow as well as foggy patches with a high risk of ice in the North and the East as well as temperatures of -3.

You may remember the second wave of snow last February, so now is the time to start dusting off your snow boots and getting ready for another frost, more travel chaos and the usual difficulties bad weather brings to the UK.

So with the country frozen to a standstill once again, I think it’s an excellent time to go for a walk and take in the clear blue skies and cool winter air -so long as it’s not raining of course.
