The UK is set to see heavier snow on Monday as icy conditions stretch to more parts of northern and eastern England after a yellow warning alert was issued by the Met Office following the arrival of Arctic air.
Up to 5-10cm of snow is likely to accumulate over northern Scotland which has been witnessing chilly conditions since Sunday with temperatures feared to plummet as low as -10C.
In other areas, temperatures are expected to be close to the freezing point as rain, sleet and snow edge slowly southwards, while maximum temperatures are also expected to be in the single digits.
The Greater London area will see a maximum temperature of 7C while the minimum temperature can go down to 0C.
Met Office meteorologist Craig Snell said up to 20cm (4 inch) of snow could fall on high ground, with up to 10cm possible in low-lying regions.
From midnight on Sunday, the snow and ice spread to north-western England and north-eastern Scotland and could creep further down the east coast as far as Hull on Tuesday.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued a cold weather alert and placed North-East England, North-West England and Yorkshire under a level three alert, with the rest of England at level two.
