Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Forecasters say there will be no let up in the wintry weather affecting the UK, with more snow and sub-zero temperatures likely in the coming week.

Met Office warnings are in place for widespread ice across many regions.

More snow is also set to spread across the UK and BBC forecaster Peter Gibbs said few, if any, areas would escape.

He also said he could see no end to the freezing conditions for at least a week.

"It's going to stay cold and perhaps get even colder in parts," he said. "There probably won't be many places that don't see some snow by the end of the week"

At the moment, the whole of northern Britain is really plastered in snow and temperatures fell to -12C overnight in the Highlands, -11C in parts of Wales.

"It's also going to be extremely icy on Tuesday morning for many of us, so really very difficult conditions for drivers and the authorities to cope with."

He added: "We can see no let up. By the weekend we're going to start seeing a very cold easterly wind feeding in direct from Siberia."

Met Office advisory warnings of possible heavy snow are in place for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in northern and eastern England and Scotland.
