# Snow forecast LIVE: Met Office issues 15-hour snow warning as cold snap bites

## A sudden Arctic chill is set to sweep across the UK, bringing significant snowfall this week.

The Met Office has issued a snow warning that will last for 15 hours due to a cold snap hitting the UK, influenced by an icy air mass from the Arctic. This weather event is expected to begin on Thursday morning and will affect several regions, bringing a mix of sleet and snow.

The inclement weather is forecasted to bring hazardous conditions, including potential disruptions to transport as visibility is reduced. Reports indicate that motorists and commuters should prepare for delays and adverse conditions.

Mr. Burkill commented on the situation, stating, "With that cold air we have across us, no wonder we are going to see some sleet and snow mixed in with that as well." Such statements highlight the seriousness of the incoming weather and the likelihood of snow accumulation across affected areas.

Local authorities and the Met Office are advising residents to stay informed about the latest updates and conditions as the cold weather sets in.
