We thought spring was meant to finally start today, but apparentally the Beast from the East is going to return for a THIRD time.

While Met Eireann says there is an end in sight for the freezing temperatures this week, forecasters in the UK are predicting the Beast will be back for a ‘White Easter’ early next month.

Oh give us a break!

The current cold snap should stop as southwesterly winds will take charge on Wednesday, bringing milder weather, and by Thursday, things will be quite mild.

However northern Europe is due to be hit by more cold winds closer to Easter, and possible snow.

Batten down the hatches now, folks!
