As conditions deteriorate, motorists and residents are advised to stay alert for icy roads and possible disruptions to travel.

This extreme weather comes as a reminder for residents to take necessary precautions when heading outdoors. Britons should brace for potentially hazardous conditions that might arise during this bitter cold spell.
