The UK has another cold day and there will be showers in eastern Britain, with many of them falling as sleet or snow in the north. The next few days bring more of the same, with widespread frosts and crisp days. Milder conditions are expected to return next week, but there is still uncertainty and a colder scenario could prevail. (If you would like to browse the website without adverts and contribute to its ongoing development, explore the payment options, see below)
