An Arctic snow snap is set to hit parts of Britain next week when parts of the country will be blanketed in up to 17 inches of the white stuff.
Many Brits will be reaching for their snow boots and sledges with an "Arctic assault" expected to sweep the country the day after Valentine's Day.
The worst weather is expected to hit parts of Northern England and Scotland where Scots could see as much as 19.9 inches of snow, according to WX Charts.
Manchester and Edinburgh could see 2cm of snow while Birmingham and the Midlands could see around 1cm on Friday, forecasters said.
Wintry showers are also expected next week along with some sunshine and dry patches, the Met Office said.
A spokesperson said: "The wettest weather is likely to be in the west and northwest, this heavy at times.
"Some snow is expected over northern hills, and temperatures becoming average to mild for many areas. It is also likely to become windy for all, particularly in the north.
"Windy in the North initially, elsewhere likely much lighter than previous days.
"Heavy rain may return to the northwest and windy for most, with gales possible in the west and northwest at the weekend.
"Through the rest of this period, high pressure will likely dominate across most of the UK."
Temperatures are likely to remain "near average" with the chance of a short colder snap for the north and east.
Meanwhile, the south and southeast will stay driest, but even here there is likely to be rain at times, the forecasters said.
The so-called "Arctic assault" is a huge weather front sweeping the UK with snow and sleet from Wednesday.
Parts of Britain will be colder than Finland and reach a frosty -5C compared to -3C in the Scandinavian country.
February is expected to be colder than January and December, according to Met Office forecaster John Hammond.
"A plunge of Arctic air looks set to sweep down across the UK later in the week, which may well see hard frost and some snow," he told Sun Online.
“Temperatures ahead are expected to average out rather lower than through much of winter, with more frequent incursions of Arctic air.
“A wetter and chillier mix looks likely as we head into March. Late snow is a possibility.”
