It is 1/5 for London City Airport, which is in Newham, to see snow anytime this month, William Hill says. It has slashed its odds on Cardiff Airport to just 1/10 with Wales believed to endure significant snowfall as early as Saturday.
The Met Office website reads: ⁘Heavy snow, and some freezing rain in places, may cause some disruption over the weekend. There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected. There is a slight chance that some rural communities could become cut off.
⁘A small chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. There is a chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel.
