UK Weather: Freezing blasts could bring more snow next week

Some of the coldest weather of the winter so far is set to arrive next week, with more snow for some people in the UK.
It's because winds from the Arctic are going to bring some very cold temperatures.
Lots of places will see frosty mornings but some rural areas could see temperatures as low as -10C!
Yellow weather warnings have been put in place for snow and ice in northern Scotland on Sunday and Monday, and Northern Ireland on Monday.
Weather experts at the Met Office say some roads and railways will likely be affected, which could impact journey times to school and work.
Last weeks snowy weather conditions forced some schools in the worst hit areas to temporarily close.

Snow showers could affect northern areas of Scotland and North Sea coasts at the start of the week.
This could then spread to towns and cities across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.
Experts say 2-5cm of lying snow is possible in lots of places, with up to 10cm over high ground in northern Scotland and, in Northern Ireland, it's warned that up to 5cm of snow could accumulate over high ground.
Experts say that looking further ahead is trickier to forecast, as weather conditions could easily change, but in the later part of the week, snow could land in southern counties of England which could also bring travel disruption.
Cold weather health warnings
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Met Office also issued a yellow alert for cold weather for South West, South East, West Midlands, East Midlands and North West parts of England meaning that the impact of the freeze could mean that vulnerable people suffer in the cold, including older people and the homeless.
UKHSA's Dr Agostinho Sousa said it was "vital to check in on friends, family and neighbours to ensure they are well prepared for the cold weather next week".
This burst of chilly weather also follows heavy rainfall and flooding across England, which saw hundreds of homes damaged.
Some 52 warnings of expected flooding are in place in England, and one in Wales.
