00:02The UK is facing a return of wintry conditions as Arctic air pushes temperatures into single
00:08digits. Snow, frost and icy surfaces are expected to disrupt travel and daily routines for households,
00:13commuters and businesses alike. Experts want blustery showers, hail and occasional thunder
00:18could cause delays on roads and public transport, while overnight frost increases slip and accident
00:24risks. The unusually cold air follows a sharp contrast between warm and cold conditions
00:29overseas, strengthening high altitude winds known as the jet stream. Forecasters say the
00:35chill will persist through the weekend, gradually easing early next week as mild air moves in
00:40across the country.
