A storm will bring 1-3 inches to most of snow to the U.K. and Ireland onMonday. Snow began Sunday. Monday Monday afternoon, as much as 3-6 inches willfall in the higher elevations of England, Wales, and Ireland.Cities across the U.K. are conserving salt. So, travel will be verydifficult with less salt being used to melt snow on roadways. Numerous sportingevents have already been canceled. Trains are running fewer than normalschedules through the chunnel from England to France.
A snowstorm last week brought as much as a foot to parts of England. Very coldair then followed the storm. Parts of the U.K. dipped below zero, a feat rarelyachieved across the British Isles. Sunday morning London and Dublin will have an inch or two of snow from the storm. The highermountains in Wales and Ireland will bear the brunt of the storm.
Some good news is that this storm will not be followed by an arctic outbreak.
In fact temperatures should warm above freezing in most of the U.K. by midweek.
