Forecasters predict that “some major snow and cold weather” will return from February 2 and 3.

ExactaWeather’s James Madden suggests a “strong Greenland blocking pattern” could bring in the cold snap.
“Our projections are consistently showing up the potential for another temporary snow event towards the end of the working week and into next weekend that could bring further heavy snow to the north/ Scotland, and potentially to parts of northern England, Wales and Northern Ireland/Ireland within this period,” he told The Daily Star.
