BITTERLY cold weather is expected to grip the UK over the weekend with some places already seeing as much as 10cm of snow.
A number of yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place, with the latest warnings reaching into Monday, while amber snow warnings for northern Scotland are in place until midday on Saturday.
Travel disruption is expected as wintry weather moves southeastwards over parts of England and Wales.
The Met Office said the amber areas in Scotland could see power cuts and vehicles becoming stranded. At Loch Glascarnoch in the Scottish Highlands there was in excess of 8cm of lying snow on Friday morning, while Aboyne in Aberdeenshire had around 9cm of lying snow.
Forecasters have warned there could be snow accumulations of up to 20cm on low ground and up to 40cm on higher ground.
