Snow is expected to hit the country this week – although there are conflicting reports about whether it is going to affect Portsmouth much.
So far the predictions are that the snow will fall heavily in Kent and spread across the middle of the country, but it looks likely to be only as far south as about Winchester.
The last time we had heavy snow in this areas was the infamous ‘Beast from the East’ in 2018. It turned Portsmouth and the surrounding areas into a winter wonderland.
