Somerset and Bath could finally see snow this weekend.
It comes after a week of stop-start showers and ever-changing weather-warnings issued.
Earlier in the week forecasters predicted heavy snow to fall across the South West as well as speaking out on how hard it’s been to predict the weather this week.
Although the forecast has since changed, and hopes of a ‘snow bomb’ for Somerset have been dashed, the county is due for a dusting of the white stuff on Saturday.
After being teased all week with different forecasts of when snow could fall is the area, Saturday is now looking the most likely.
Here’s where and when we are most likely to see snow this weekend according to the Met Office forecast at 11am on Friday, February 12.
