Brits are being warned to brace themselves for snow and hail as an Arctic blast sees temperatures drop as low as -6C - the coldest night of the winter for parts of the country.
The UK is set for another day of icy temperatures on Thursday before the mercury dips further on Friday with people being told to take care and also look out for vulnerable people who may need help.
Met Office forecaster Clare Nasir said: “[There will be] Arctic air streaming down from the north delivering snow showers particularly in the far north east of the country before high pressure moves in from the west affecting mainly England and Wales and a stronger wind will develop in Scotland.”
