There's no more snow forecast for Britain in the coming days, but sub zero temperatures are heading up north, with most of Scotland due for a frigid start to the weekend.

Friday is due to be a washout for the West, with dark rainclouds hovering over Wales, Preston and Manchester for most of the day. These stormy skies will blow east as Saturday approaches, forecasting a grim outlook for partygoers over the weekend.
