\"Snow<\/a>
Snow covered fields in County Durham today after overnight snow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Snow is continuing to fall across the north of the UK, with up to 10cm settling across the high mountains overnight.<\/h1>\n

Glasgow and Edinburgh have seen up to 5cm fall overnight, with up to 4cm settling in Teesside and County Durham.<\/p>\n

The mountains in Cumbria, Northumbria and parts of Scotland have been decorated with a blanket of 10cm of snow.<\/p>\n

Sky’s weather presenter Isobel Lang said: “Winter started on December 1 and the weather has become more seasonal.<\/p>\n

“In fact it looks set to stay that way with a continued threat of frost, ice and snow.<\/p>\n

“Even looking ahead towards Christmas the rather cold and wintry story continues.”<\/p>\n

And the rest of this week is bound to be frosty, said Lang.<\/p>\n

“On Tuesday colder north winds will bring in more widespread snow showers across northern and eastern Scotland, with these spreading across hillier parts of eastern England on Wednesday,” she said.<\/p>\n

“During Thursday another Atlantic frontal system is set to sweep east bringing in more persistent rain, preceded again by a period of snow.”<\/p>\n

Further south, including Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, escaped the snowfall but were greeted with rain and very cold temperatures instead.<\/p>\n

Eastern England shivered in temperatures dipping to -4C and it dropped to -7C in western Scotland.<\/p>\n

But hasn’t been cold all over Britain – areas of Cornwall and west Wales enjoyed far warmer highs of 11C.<\/p>\n

The extreme weather in parts of the UK caused signal failures on transport, meaning delays for passengers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The big chill comes just days after severe flooding hit Britain, from which many areas are still recovering.<\/p>\n\n
