The storm will sweep in over the weekend after a freezing cold snap this week
Storm Bert has been named by the Met Office ahead of 70mph winds, snow and rain battering the UK this weekend.
A Met Office yellow warning of snow and ice is in place across northern Scotland until midday on Thursday, with 2-5cm of snow expected fairly widely. A new alert has also been issued warning of snow and ice for much of Scotland, northern England, including in Greater Manchester, and parts of western and eastern England and Wales between midday on Thursday and 10am on Friday.
"Heavy rain through Saturday and Sunday, especially in southern and western parts of the UK, will also bring impacts for some with a number of warnings in place. We expect 50-75 mm of rainfall quite widely within the warning areas, but in excess of 100 mm is possible over high ground in parts of Wales and southwest England.
