The latest weather<\/a> model shows snow<\/a> spreading in from over the Irish sea as bands of the white stuff blow east across the UK. Northern and eastern areas of England as well as much of Scotland<\/a> are due to see the brunt of the snowfall, but many other areas may see flurries too.<\/p>\n Snowfall will start develop on February 16 and continue into February 17, with disruption possible in some areas. A band of rain moving across the UK from west to east is due to collide with cold air, causing the first snow to start falling at around midnight on February 16.<\/p>\n Weather map for February 16 at midnight(Image: WXCHARTS)<\/p>\n Areas in Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the north east can expect to see flurries, The Express<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n In more southern areas the precipitation will move on overnight but snow will remain over Cumbria, Northumberland, Lancashire, North Yorkshire and much of Scotland<\/a>.<\/p>\n Many Brits could wake up to as much as 10cm of settled snow, while people in the worst-affected areas in Scotland will have to battle double that amount.<\/p>\n The snow will turn back into rain as temperatures rise later in the morning with a band of wet weather moving across the country. However the snow looks set to return as the sun sets and temperatures drop, with a belt of snow falling over much of the Midlands, spreading north west and into Wales.<\/p>\n Weather map for February 17 at 6pm(Image: WXCHARTS)<\/p>\n As the cold temperatures persist, any snow that falls is likely to settle, and the freeze brings with it an increased chance of icy conditions overnight as well as possible travel hazards like black ice come morning.<\/p>\n![\"Weather](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1_Snow.jpg\")
