Weather maps show unprecedented snowfall could be on the horizon as engineers battle to restore power in Cumbria.<\/p>\n
The UK fell victim to the European cold freeze that left 60 percent of the continent covered in snow last weekend, with motorists stranded and homes left without power.<\/p>\n
But new weather maps show there is a chance of more snow in the coming weeks, with December 14 set to bring up to 1cm of snow per hour – stretching from Wick in Scotland to Manchester.<\/p>\n
The rest of the UK will see rainfall, with temperatures set to drop again. The weekend saw parts of Scotland freeze as temperatures dropped to -10C.<\/p>\n
According to Met4Cast, the last time Europe had this much snow cover at this time of year was in 2010.<\/p>\n
