<p>Britain is facing a 10-day wintry blast from the North Sea with temperatures plummeting as low as minus 6C, forecasters have warned.</p>
<p>The earliest widespread snowfall for 17 years caused disruption across the UK on Thursday with up to 6ins (15cm) of snow settling in northern England and the Scottish Highlands.</p>
<p>The Met Office issued severe weather warnings for widespread icy roads and heavy snow across the north-east, Yorkshire and Humber, East Midlands, the east and south-west of England as well as parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.</p>
<p>It warned of snowfall reaching up to 10ins (25cm) over higher ground by Saturday.</p>
<p>Stephen Davenport, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said: &#8220;It is unusual for it to be this cold at this time of year. This kind of weather with persistent north-easterly winds is highly unusual.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is high pressure over Greenland and low pressure in the Baltics so we have winds blowing from the north-east across Europe.</p>
<p>&#8220;It will fluctuate a bit but not by very much so we&#8217;re looking at at least the next week and a half staying thoroughly cold. Day-time temperatures will be between 1C and 3C and generally between minus 2C and minus 4C overnight.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re expecting to see more snow showers coming down the eastern side, coming down across Cornwall and Wales and maybe parts of the south-east.&#8221;</p>
<p>John Hammond, Met Office forecaster, said: &#8220;This snow we&#8217;re seeing at the moment and expecting to see is the heaviest widespread snow since November 1993 when the Highlands got around 12ins (30cm) and North Yorkshire got 10.5ins (27cm).</p>
<p>&#8220;Winds are continuing to blow in from a north-easterly direction over the course of the rest of this week and into next week. Even where we haven&#8217;t had any snow, temperatures are going down to minus 5C or minus 6C in several places.&#8221;</p>
