Cold weather has hit Nottingham and the county. There have been weather warnings, flurries of snow, frozen windscreens and minus temperatures. While waking up to frosty scenes can be a delight, extremely cold weather can cause tremendous disruption and trigger some health issues for those struggling to heat their homes.
With lows of -5C forecast for Nottingham tomorrow, Wednesday, December 14, just when will the extreme cold snap end? The Met Office keeps a keen eye on changing weather patterns and is one step ahead when it comes to forecasting the conditions to come.
According to their experts, we could get some respite from the cold by the weekend as temperatures start to rise, but on the downside it could turn to more unsettled with rain, sleet and perhaps even snow forecast.
