Britons endured the coldest November night since 2010, with -8°C recorded in the Scottish Highlands and multiple areas dropping below -5°C. Snowfall reached as far south as Norfolk, England, while freezing fog threatened transport from Northern Ireland to Cumbria. More snow is forecast, especially in eastern Scotland and the southwestern England moors. Sleet and frost also create slip dangers as bitter Arctic winds flow from Scandinavia where nearly record lows prevail. The Met Office issued yellow warnings for snow and ice lasting into Friday that could also close roads and rails. With wintry temperatures and snow depth rivaling 2010, early winter maintains a harsh grip on the UK with three additional days of frigid, hazardous conditions ahead as more retaining snow accumulates widely.
