Meanwhile, snow fell for much of Tuesday in the north east of the UK from Arctic air, while the rest of the country was influenced by a high pressure system coming in from the Atlantic. Images of Coldstone, Aberdeenshire, showed a very wintry scene of fields with several inches of snow.
The bad news is that the Met Office is stating that the cold air “will win out eventually” during the end of the week. Maps from WXCharts show temperatures getting as low as -5C over the weekend with widespread frost across the UK.
