Freezing weather is expected to cause significant disruption across the UK on Thursday, with temperatures plummeting to as low as -16°C. Warnings for snow, ice, and fog have been issued, particularly affecting the South West, Cornwall, and parts of northern England. Roads in Devon and Cornwall were closed after heavy snow caused long traffic delays, and snow ploughs became stuck in queues. The Met Office has warned of potential travel disruptions, with icy conditions leading to accidents. Authorities are urging motorists to use gritted major roads. The RAC reported a surge in rescue requests amid the freeze.
