Brits are set to wake up to a frosty start on Tuesday before an Arctic blast could bring a -7C freeze and up to 30 inches of snow by early February.
The Met Office is predicting a cloudy week and some rain for the North West but for most part the dry weather is likely to continue.
It will remain cold with temperatures close to zero but weather maps for the start of February show a much icier picture where the mercury could plunge as low as -7C.
