Sweeping 578 mile snow bomb to dump 23 inches in icy blast of wintry weather

The icy snow bomb is set to stretch from Oban, in Scotland, down to Plymouth in the first week of March. New maps from WXCharts, which uses MetDesk data, show a large purple mass sweeping across the UK. Weather maps show many regions of Scotland will be covered in snow. The North West, the North East and Yorkshire will also see a considerable dusting, according to the forecast.
