Snow and ice forecast as Arctic blast sends temperature plummeting to -15°C

Much of Britain is facing another day of cold temperatures and travel disruption after overnight lows dropped below freezing for the bulk of the country.

The Met Office said heavy snow is possible across northern areas on Tuesday, especially in Scotland and overnight in Northern Ireland, with the rest of the country seeing a cold, dry day ahead of a widespread, severe frost in the evening.

A yellow warning is in place for snow and ice across Scotland, much of northern England and parts of north Wales until midnight on Tuesday, as well as for Northern Ireland until 11am.
