Snow blankets parts of UK as Britons brace for coldest night of 2023

Warnings issued for snow and ice across all four nations with temperature forecast to plunge to -15

From Tyneside to Buckinghamshire, snow fell across the much of the country on Tuesday as forecasters warned temperatures could plunge to a 2023 record low of -15C in some parts.

The Met Office says the mercury could dip to the lowest of the year so far in some sheltered Scottish glens, especially where there is fresh snow cover.
