The UK is braced for an arctic blast bringing seven days of bitter cold as temperatures plummet as low as -10C and parts of the country are blanketed with snow.
After an unusually mild November, temperatures are set to drop well below zero with the icy weather to continue well into next week.
The arctic blast, dubbed the 'Troll of Trondheim', will sweep south across the UK, leaving the country to wake up to icy and freezing temperatures on Thursday.
