Another blast of snow could hit the UK as the big freeze extends its grip

Another blast of snow could hit the UK in the coming days as the big freeze shows no sign of melting away. Sub-zero temperatures will also continue to send a shudder down the spine of Britain leaving severe cold weather alerts and warnings over treacherous conditions on the nation's ice-covered roads firmly in place. Forecasters say there is the potential of up to 3-6cm of snow as a weather front moves in from the North West over the next three days. The worst hit areas are expected to be East Anglia and the Midlands with southern areas of England set to experience a light dusting.
