BRITS will be hit by Storm Gladys chaos in just weeks as a bone-chilling icy plunge looms.
A "wintry blast" will bring snow and frost during the first week of March while the country moves into spring.
British Weather Services' senior meteorologist Jim Dale warned March can bring "some of the snowiest" conditions.
Jim said: "Very often, March can deliver big winds and it can deliver short-lived snow events."
Weather forecaster WXCharts forecaset up to 5cm of snow in Manchester by Friday while Edinburgh and Newcastle will see 3cm of snow.
Scotland can expected around 1cm of snow per hour a day while cold wind will plunge most of the UK to feel sub-zero.
The potential for more weather damage lingers ahead of the arrival of more named storms.
Jim told the Express Storm Gladys and Storm Hermann won't be too far behind their predecessors which consecutively battered Britain in one week.
He said: "In terms of big events, as in Storm Gladys finally getting onto the stage and Storm Hermann to follow."
