A blast of wintry weather sent temperatures dropping below -10C in some parts of Britain yesterday. The Met Office had issued an amber weather warning with heavy snowfall predicted across much of eastern England last night. But the warning was later cancelled after much of the predicted snow failed to materialise. However, by midday snow had stopped falling across most parts of the UK, replaced by rain and sleet. Forecasters said that yesterday was likely to be the coldest day of the weekend with drier and brighter weather expected today.
