The Met Office is predicting much of the UK to be hit with ice and snow as temperatures are set to fall even further.
It comes as a wave of Arctic air has moved in from Scandinavia from the north, blanketing the whole of the country.
This airflow is causing temperatures to plunge, but is also predicted to bring snow to much of Scotland.
However, the latest forecasts show the north east and a small part of the eastern coast of England are also set to be hit.

A spokesperson from the Met Office said: “The UK is now in the grip of a cold plunge of Arctic air which has moved in from the north across the whole of the country.
“The northerly airflow is also bringing very cold conditions for all, with snow showers for some areas at times.
“A number of National Severe Weather Warnings have been issued for potentially disruptive snow and ice over the coming days.”
