Temperatures are set to stay low, hitting minus 10C in isolated areas on Saturday and Sunday, with a Met Office yellow warning for snow and ice in place for much of Scotland on Saturday as well as ice in Northern Ireland, Wales and the far south-west of England.
The UK Health Security Agency sent out a level three cold weather alert covering England until Friday having extended the alert from Monday.
