Posing with remains of last year's snow

Britain is always under severe weather - whether it is summer or winters. In summers the Brits witness flash floods and heavy rains and come winter: it is high speed gales and tons of snow.

So this weekend should not be a surprise for people living in many parts of Britain if it gets almost 2 feet of snow (19 inches as predicted). Motorists, especially in northern Scotland face travel chaos this weekend with up to 19in of snow expected by Monday.

Besides, rain warnings are also in place for tomorrow as even more heavy rain threatens to cause localised flooding and winds of up to 70 mph could cause disruptions to Irish Sea and cross-Channel ferry services.
