Brits will be buffeted by snow over a 10-day spell with the mercury set to fall to a glacial -10C.

The British Weather Service's senior meteorologist Jim Dale said the white stuff could fall as soon as this week in higher regions of the country. He forecast that temperatures could even drop to as low as a chilly -10C .
