FROZEN Britain is braced for up to eight inches of snow today as temperatures fall to -15C (5F).

A police spokesman said: “At temperatures of around -5C, or in heavy snow, salt will not prevent roads icing. So even if roads have been gritted, do not assume they are free from ice and frost.”

Severe weather warnings are in place, with the North, the Midlands, East Anglia, central and south-east England on alert for heavy snow today, while harsh “penetrating” frosts and ice could turn roads into ice rinks. Airports are also on alert for freezing rain – the most dangerous weather threat to aircraft.
