The Met Office has issued a snow and ice warning for THREE days next week
There are already three yellow warnings in place on Saturday for ice, snow, and rain - as Brits are battered by all winter weather extremities.
But Monday will bring heavy snowfall from Newcastle to Reading - cutting off rural communities and causing wide-scale traffic disruption.

A band of heavy rain will move north-east across the area during Friday night, with some heavy rainfall following from the south on Saturday afternoon.
