Reports suggest Britain could have a major freeze this month over fears a Polar vortex may trigger another 'Beast from the East'. Meteorologists are keeping an eye on the vortex spinning over the North Pole as they believe it could spark a Sudden Stratospheric Warming event, also known as an SSW.
The Mirror reports a similar weather event five years ago drove the UK into deep snow and was hit with blizzards. British Weather Services’ Jim Dale said a big freeze was "not something that I will rule out".
Jim said: "At the moment I am favouring a more mobile weather pattern from the Atlantic. Instead of a big snow event we may be more likely to see a named storm during the start of 2023.
