00:00Get ready, UK. The first real blast of winter is here, and it's coming in fast.
00:05After a mild weekend, things are taking a sharp turn.
00:08This week, the UK faces its first widespread frosts, and even snow in some areas.
00:14By Thursday and Friday night, temperatures are set to plummet.
00:17Across the country, lows will hit single digits, and in places like the Pennines, it could drop to freezing.
00:23In the north, places like Cumbria, County Durham, and Northumberland could see minus one degree.
00:28But the real chill is coming to rural Scotland, where the mercury could hit a bone-chilling minus seven or even minus eight degree.
00:36Even cities won't escape it. Towns could dip to just one or two degree overnight.
00:41And yes, it's time to dig out the de-icer. Frost and icy patches are expected from Tuesday morning.
00:47To top it off, rain will sweep in during the day.
00:50And on higher ground in northern England, that rain could turn into snow.
00:54It won't last long, but it's a clear sign. Winter is knocking.
00:57From 16 degree in Devon to freezing conditions overnight, British weather never stays still.
01:03Brace yourself. The chill is here, and it's only just begun.
