The Met Office has responded to reports of an "Arctic blast" said to blanket the UK in snow next month.
Some outlets have reported the country could see its "snowiest January in 12 years" after the USA has been battered by a snow "bomb cyclone". Thousands of flights were cancelled and homeless shelters are overflowing after some parts of North America experienced temperatures plummeting 10C within a matter of hours.
Weather experts have said this phenomenon is likely to "influence the medium-range outlook for the UK."
