Parts of Britain face up to six inches of snow this weekend while other areas could be lashed by 65mph winds as drivers must navigate further risks posed by black ice.

Scotland will be covered in a fresh layer of snow and ice, while Northern Ireland, Wales and South West England will face strong winds over the next two days after the Met Office issued a further series of warnings.

But things are looking better in the South East of England which will enjoy calmer conditions and relatively mild 10C (50F) temperatures tomorrow, following a chilling week that saw parts of the UK fall to -10C (14F) overnight.
