Arctic Britain blanketed with snow

Snow showers swept across almost all of Britain as bitter easterly winds continued to bring Arctic conditions to the country on Tuesday, with severe weather warnings issued to regions including the North West.

Almost every corner of the UK woke up to between 0.8in (2cm) and 4in (10cm) of snow on Tuesday morning, with the east coast worst hit by flurries and sub-zero temperatures.

And the cold blast from the North Sea was expected to continue to batter eastern areas throughout the day, even bringing snow to London and the South East.

More Snow is said to come in the next few days!!!!!!
