and about first thing this morning. we've had the overnight rain, sleet and snow giving way to wintry showers, which could well wash off some of the salt off the roads, so slippery certainly out there this morning. this is the huge swathe of cloud tied in with the weather front that's bringing that rain and hill snow, and it's going to bring substantial snow and problems to parts of europe once again. behind it, cold air coming in, so we've got those wintry showers as well. we've seen a few centimetres of snow on the hills in the north, courtesy of this weather front, could even be some snow at lower levels for a time as it clears and these showers packing in behind progressively turning to sleet and snow, possibly even at lower levels and the heavier showers, and these are the towns and city temperatures, so out in the countryside, and on the roads and the pavements, the temperatures at freezing and hence the risk of it being quite treacherously icy. so that cold weather front does what it says. it brings in colder air behind it, giving quite significant snow across parts of europe.

across the snowfields of scotland, but that does promise that wednesday should be drier, fewer showers, lighter winds, perhaps still that wintry shower risk for eastern and south—eastern parts of england and later in the day, it clouds over in the west, but it's still bitterly cold despite lighter winds and despite the sunshine. is there anything milder on the horizon? well, possibly on friday temporarily, but the cold air‘s never too far away. as ever, you can get all the warning information from our website. hello. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: fighting back against disability hate crime. mps call for online abuse to be criminalised. mps back a call that abusing disabled people online should be criminalised. violence in zimbabwe.
