New Year's washout on the way as US 'bomb cyclone' hits UK
Picture: Alamy/Met OfficeBritain is set to be battered by snow and heavy rain due to knock-on effects from the “bomb cyclone” in the US that could lead to a New Year’s washout.America has endured one of its worst snow storms, with temperatures plunging below -30C in some places and while snow buried communities and clogged up the roads.
That had affected the jet stream, and the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice in northern Scotland, and an amber warning for rain for the south of Scotland. The weather service said flooding in that part – around the Dumfries area – would likely affect homes, cause road closures and delays to public transport, and cut off communities. Fast flowing and deep floods could cause a danger to life.
