Snow has fallen in parts of the UK after a severe weather warning was put in place as freezing temperatures continued.



There were whiteout conditions on the A66 in northern England overnight into Sunday as snow was seen across the country from East Anglia to Cumbria.

There was heavy snow, rain and sleet in the Pennines, coupled with strong north-easterly winds.

A yellow weather warning had been put place across north-west and north-east England, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the West and east Midlands. But the mercury is expected to rise into the high single figures on Monday as the icy conditions give way to slightly warmer temperatures.

Helen Roberts from the Met Office said: “Maximum temperatures on Sunday will probably not be dissimilar to Saturday, so we are looking at generally between about 2C to 6C (36F to 43F), right the way across the country.

“Then into the start of next week, we start to see some slightly less cold weather pushing in. So by Monday, probably more in the way of sunshine.”
