A BBC meteorologist said: “In mid-February, high pressure is expected to remain over Scandinavia throughout the week, keeping things rather cold. This setup is similar to the classic "Beast from the East" from 2018, and there is potential for some heavy snow showers for eastern areas for the first half of the week. The coldest days will tend to be around midweek as the air from Russia finally arrives in force.”
So in honour of the impending cold weather take a look back at the Beast from the East in pictures in 2018.
