'You can't park there!': A giant snowball with a parking ticket on it yesterday in Chiswick, west LondonAnother blast of icy weather could see much of the country covered in snow again tomorrow night.
The East Midlands and East Anglia will be worst affected, with temperatures down to minus 13c (9f) tonight, several degrees colder than within the Arctic Circle, and it could be the coldest night of the winter so far.
A Met Office spokesman said there would be more of a ‘dusting’ than a blanket of snow during Friday and Saturday, but it could affect most parts.

Today and most of tomorrow will be dry, with bright spells but temperatures not rising above 3c (37f) in most places. Only the south-west coast is likely to be milder, with 7c (45f) forecast in Plymouth.
Friday will see up to an inch of snow, mostly in the east and centre of the country, and moving north on Saturday. However, the north and west will be milder and could have rain.
