No thawing of big chill in sight

IT’S time to take to the hills for some snowboarding or else get out those woollies and turn up the heat because it’s going to get colder.

The big freeze causing widespread disruption across Europe looks set to continue this week with snow expected to fall here tonight.

Roads throughout the country were hit by frost yesterday with icy routes in the midlands, east and north unable to thaw as temperatures stayed low.
