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.

wintry showers moved through early this morning.

Throughout today there’ll be more snow in parts
