After one of the wettest Januaries on record, the UK is braced for a mini cold snap – and a good chance of snow.

The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for snow and ice across Scotland and north east England from Thursday until Friday.

Forecasters say some areas could see up to 10cm of snow settle, amid warnings of icy patches disrupting travel and endangering drivers.
