Another day of sub-zero temperatures, gale-force icy winds and blizzard-like conditions is expected as Storm Emma sweeps in from the Atlantic on the tail of the Beast from the East's chilly blast.
The Met Office escalated a heavy snow weather warning for south-west England and south Wales to red - its highest level - meaning "widespread damage, travel and power disruption and risk to life is likely" from 3pm.
