A SIBERIAN blast is set to hit Brits this morning with icy -5C winds.
The ‘Beast from the East’ will bring freezing fog as the mercury plunges dramatically following snow storms across parts of the country.
The Met Office has warned the icy weather is set to continue for the rest of the week.
Meteorologist Alex Deakin said that tonight will be cold enough for frost in many places, and that it “could be icy”, with a few fog patches – “an autumn-wintry mix”.
There will also be showers over northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England, with cloud crossing eastern areas, “sticking like glue” so it’ll be damp and drizzly in the morning.
Clearer conditions across the west will help see the temperatures dip to below zero, even in towns and cities.
Rural areas will feel a chill, first thing in the morning, and people are likely to have to scrape their cars in rural areas, with temperatures dropping to -3C, or as low as -5C in one or two places.
Deakin said: “It will be a cold start to the day.”
Parts of the country, including Exmoor, Wales, the Peak District and the Pennines, were blanketed in the white stuff while Surrey, Sussex, Kent and even London saw some flurries on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Snow settled on hills in the South of England, including the Chilterns, Salisbury Plain, The Berkshire and Wiltshire Downs and parts of The Costwolds.
The highest areas of the UK saw much heavier snow, especially in northern England, Wales and Scotland.
The Pennines, Cheviot Hills, the Eastern Highlands and the Grampians had settling snow throughout the day, along with surrounding areas.

In the east, it will be misty and murky and quite poor visibility, while there will be fog over parts of Wales and the Midlands – not great conditions for the Thursday morning commute.
Although it’ll be a frosty start, by the afternoon, temperatures will be up to 6C, but “it’s still going to feel cold, particularly with the winds across the south-west and the north-east,” Deakin said.
He added that “temperatures are still below average for the time of year, and this cold weather persists through the course of Thursday evening, as does the cloud, and rain.”
A spokesperson for the Met Office said that there will be freezing fog across the central and western parts of the UK, while the east will see “low cloud, but not freezing fog – there will be a west/east divide.”
On Wednesday, John Hammond, chief meteorologist for Weathertrending told The Sun Online: “It’s currently snowing over parts of Salisbury Plain, The Berkshire and Wiltshire Downs pushing into the higher parts of The Cotswolds later this morning.
“This afternoon this area may affect parts of South and Mid Wales. There may be temporary slushy coverings here, before dying out.
“Elsewhere the main focus is for the highest parts of the Pennines, The Cheviots and The eastern Highland and Grampians.
“By tonight, most of any snow will have turned to rain and largely died out.
“Later tonight and tomorrow morning, freezing fog patches may be a problem in a zone from SE England, through the Midlands, Wales and northwest England. Temperatures may locally fall as low as -5C.”
The Pennines were heavily affected by snow and cars parked at the The Tan Hill Inn – Britain’s highest pub at 1732ft above sea level – have been covered by the white stuff.
The Peak District is no stranger to being blanketed in snow, but the heavy showers overnight combined with freezing cold temperatures left residents in awe of the November covering.
Early risers in Brighton were surprised to find their cars covered in snow on Wednesday morning.
Devil’s Dyke in East Sussex has been particularly frosty with snow settling on roads and roof-tops.
Christmas came early for residents of Canterbury in Kent, as residents found cars, roads and gardens dusted with a wintry white, getting everyone in the festive spirit before work.
Brian Gaze, director and forecaster for the Weather Outlook told The Sun Online: “It will be very cold [Wednesday] night, especially in central and western areas where skies are most likely to clear.
“In one or two sheltered locations in the west temperatures could dip to -5C (23F).”
The hills of Ceredigion, Wales, were also dusted with snow after overnight flurries, much to the delight of early morning walkers who revelled in the sight.
Dramatic scenes in the hills are draped with cloudy white skies, as the snow shows no signs of stopping.
No weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office as yet.
A car came off the road on Wednesday morning after the heavy snowfall near the A628 in the Peak District.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
