The Met Office has revealed that the cold snap hitting the UK could come to an end as early as this weekend as a "slow-moving frontal system" could bring milder temperatures.
Lows of a freezing -9.8C were recorded in the village of Topcliffe in North Yorkshire yesterday as temperatures have plummeted across the country.
The chilly weather is set to continue over the next few days, with the Met Office issuing further yellow weather warnings for snow and ice as they warn that wintry showers could bring disruption.
