"Arctic Cold Snap Brings Freezing Temperatures and Snow Across UK"
A wintry Arctic cold snap is set to continue in the UK, with Met Office yellow warnings for snow and ice in place for Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and north Wales. Temperatures will fall below freezing, leading to travel disruption and dangerous road conditions, especially in north-west England and Scotland. Scotland is expected to see the worst of the weather, with up to 20cm of snow forecast across higher ground. The cold spell has triggered automatic £25 payments for eligible households in certain areas, and milder weather is expected to sweep across the UK over the weekend, bringing an end to the cold spell.
