In Scotland, three walkers were rescued in the Cairngorms after getting stuck in severe conditions, with Braemar and Aberdeen Mountain Rescue completing a 9-hour operation in the Lairig Ghru area.

Met Office Chief Forecaster Jason Kelly warned of significant snow accumulations in Wales, the Midlands, and northern England, accompanied by strong winds causing drifting snow.
