Snow showers from Scotland to London as UK weather turns colder

About 6cm settles on Orkney, substantial falls seen in Manchester and Sheffield and flurries in south

Large parts of Scotland and the north of England - and even as far south as London - had snow flurries on Monday morning as temperatures dropped by an average of 11C overnight.

The Arctic winds responsible for the snow showers are expected to continue into the week, with most of the country at risk of snow or hail on Tuesday as temperatures will struggle to rise above 9C, even in the south of England.
