Brits face snow and ice today ahead of a Beast from the East hitting in March where temperatures could plummet to -10C.
It is likely to be a cold end to February with snow charts showing parts of central Scotland have a 90% chance of snow falling, while the Met Office has said there is also a possibility of flurries during Friday down the eastern side of the country.
But it is the phenomenon of Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) that could bring very low temperatures at the start of March.
