Get out your scarves - winter has arrived in the UK!

"Winter" is becoming a loose term in the UK. It can mean any time between October and April it seems. We seem to be getting more snow in the autumn and spring months than the actual "official" winter months.

Parts of Britain will be colder than Moscow this weekend as the country prepares for an Arctic blast of blizzard conditions and freezing temperatures.

Several weather warnings are already in place and motoring organisations have warned that the snow could create hazardous driving conditions.
