A weather system from Scandinavia is set to freeze the UK from early February as the latest weather map forecast shows when snow could strike.
WXcharts, an interactive weather map using Met Office data, predicts Britons could expect snow from 6 February across northern England and Scotland.
Some could see snow as early as today as the Met Office predicts wintry weather over the higher ground of the Pennines.
It comes as the Met Office issued a danger to life warning amid winds of 85mph in parts of northern Scotland between 5am and 7pm on Wednesday.
The forecaster said bus and train services were likely to be affected, with power cuts also expected across parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the Scottish village of Kinlochewe provisionally set the UK record for temperature in January after hitting 19.6C on Sunday.
This beats the previous January UK record of 18.3C set at Inchmarlo and Aboyne in 2003 and Aber in 1958 and 1971, the forecaster said.
