My friends the winds from the north will freeze Britain tonight

You may have heard Demis Rousseau's My friends the wind will come from the north. But that was just a song - now here come the true winds from the north that may plunge the temperatures to -10C tonight for Britons.

Meteorologists warn of widespread frost and snowfall on its way with temperatures plummeting in London by this evening - even lower than the -8C forecast in Lapland and OC in St Petersburg.

However, for the relief of most Britons, the -10C temperature is an exceptional figure and is likely only over packed snow in the mountains. It will be less cold in the glens and further south in England and Wales
