Britain braced for severe cold and snow Temperatures are falling across Britain and will continue to do so in the days ahead, with the risk of snow growing from Wednesday evening onwards. The latest indications are that we can expect a spell of severe wintry weather during the next week, with much of the country having significant accumulations of snow, and overnight temperatures possibly falling as low as -15C locally once the cold is entrenched.
As we head into the weekend the risk of more prolonged periods of sleet or snow will increase, with blizzards developing at times over higher ground. Snow accumulations of more than 10 inches can be expected in places, causing transport disruption.
No real sign of a let up in the wintry weather, and it's possible that things will get even worse during the first half of next week, as a bitterly cold easterly wind brings more sleet and snow.
