Brits are set to face freezing temperatures with lows of -6C and around 12 centimetres of snow as Arctic air in the north gradually takes a grip over the whole country.
There was a north-south divide on Tuesday with freezing weather in Scotland and milder temperatures in southern England.
Snow fell for much of Tuesday in the north east of the UK from Arctic air, while the rest of the country was influenced by a high pressure system coming in from the Atlantic.
