In Scotland, temperatures are set to hit -9C or even lower, while parts of England and Wales could drop to as cold as -7C.

“Today will be a colder still because of this icy blast coming from the Arctic and we will likely see more snow on higher grounds throughout the week."
He continued to add that tonight is going to be colder than Sunday night in England, which is set to bring travelling issues to some.
