People are being warned of an impending ice blast as the country is set to be enveloped by temperatures as low at -10c as an Arctic freeze hits before a week of snow.
The lowest temperatures are expected to be felt in Scotland, as well as in other rural and isolated areas.
Rural areas further south towards England, Wales and Northern Ireland could freeze in temperatures as low as -5C, triggering a frosty start to Friday morning.
Whilst February has been a cold month so far, especially for people in the north, it’s set to get even colder.
Met Office reports suggest there could be as much as 20cm of snow in parts of Scotland over the coming week.
Met Office Senior Operational Meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth warned temperatures are likely to plunge to -10C in "rural sheltered spots" of Scotland.
Ms Shuttleworth told the Express : "Temperatures are expected to drop to -10 C in rural sheltered spots of Scotland by the morning.
"Further south rural mins will be widely -2 to -5 C across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"The cold air across the UK is moving in from the Atlantic this paired with the light winds and clear skies for many means it will be a widely frosty start to Friday."
