LARGE swathes of the UK have been warned to expect severe conditions during the weekend, with snow forecast for Scotland.
Temperatures are set to stay low, hitting minus 10C (14F) in isolated areas on Saturday and Sunday, with a Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice in place for much of Scotland on Saturday as well as ice in Northern Ireland, Wales and the far south-west of England.
The Met Office said the conditions could lead to travel disruption, especially on Monday morning, and a small chance of some rural communities becoming cut off along with a possibility of power cuts and mobile phone coverage being affected.
