Parts of the UK have been met with wintry scenes heading into the weekend, as frosty weather and snow make an appearance early in the new year.

Bitter conditions are expected to continue into next week thanks to an Arctic wind.

Several weather warnings are in place for parts of England and Wales as heavy snow and freezing rain are expected.
