Snow and ice bring minor disruption to parts of UK

Simon King
BBC weather presenter and meteorologist

Temperatures this morning fell to -7.8C in
the Grampians, -7C in Shap, Cumbria and -6.4 in Bala, Gwynedd.

But widely, temperatures across the UK fell to
around -1 to -4C, giving a widespread frost this morning.

This also means it’ll be icy on untreated surfaces.

Further heavy snow has fallen in northern Scotland
but there’s also fresh snow on the ground in north Wales and the Midlands as
wintry showers moved through early this morning.

Throughout today there’ll be more snow in parts
of Scotland, north Wales and also over higher ground of eastern England. Otherwise, lots of sunshine expected.

It will feel bitterly cold for the time of year with
maximum temperatures around 1 to 5C, but add on the wind chill, it’ll feel more
like below freezing for most of us.
