It comes after temperatures dropped to minus 10.9C at Shap in Cumbria overnight, and 52cm of snow was recorded by the Met Office at Tomintoul in Banffshire. Overnight into Tuesday temperatures will once again fall below freezing for much of the country, with the lowest temperatures over lying snow possibly dipping to minus 12C, the Met Office said. A mix of rain, sleet and snow will move south-eastwards across Scotland and Northern Ireland, then later into parts of Wales and England, the Met Office said. There is a chance that a further spell of disruptive snow could affect central and northern Scotland later on Tuesday morning until early evening. Further into the week there are signs that strong winds and heavy rain may bring additional hazards across the UK, the Met Office said.
