UK weather: Freezing weekend ahead as Brits face 4 days of biting sub-zero temperatures

mirror.co.uk:

Brits are facing a harsh four-day stretch of sub-zero temperatures from today as the mercury is set to plummet. The Met Office is warning of a deep freeze over the coming nights and into the weekend, less than a week after sunshine blanketed many parts of the UK.

Most areas are set to stay dry but cold air is beginning to arrive from northern Norway, and will leave the country feeling the chill over the weekend.

Scattered snow flurries are likely on Scotland's hills, with ice risks and widespread frosts. Forecasters have warned of lows of about -10C on Friday night in parts of Scotland.

Minus 2C is expected in the Central Belt. Nights will be colder than the 3C lows in Reykjavik, Iceland but the cold is set to ease from Monday.
