Meanwhile, temperatures are said to drop to -3 or -4 degrees tonight with "severe" frost covering some areas. "Cold, calm and clear tonight with a widespread sharp to severe frost and icy stretches. Temperatures will widely fall back to -3 or -4 degrees. Some fog later too, mainly in the southwest midlands." The outlook for the weekend isn't looking too bad though, with sunny spells predicted to cover the country. "Generally dry and calm with high pressure in charge. However, it will be duller early in the week with patchy light rain. Less cold too though, with frost and ice limited to where skies break by night. Mist and fog at times with slack winds."
