THE UK has been rocked by 75mph winds and torrential rain as temperatures plummeted to freezing.
Scotland and the NE of England experienced stormy conditions on Thursday evening, with winds speeds of 60mph, while the south remained relatively dry but cold.
The Met Office says that on Friday, most parts will remain dry with plenty of sunshine, though feeling cold after a frosty start. Turning wet and windy in the far northwest later.
Looking ahead to the weekend, there will be spells of strong winds and rain southeast on Saturday – with Sunday remaining wet and windy for all.
It comes after the latest weather maps show the UK will be hit with snow for 12 days straight thanks to a prolonged Arctic blast, while the south can also expect snow next week as temperatures fall to -7C in parts.
On February 16, most of the west coast down to Cornwall will see flurries and it will continue towards the end of the month.
