It's So Cold Even The SEA Has Frozen!

Boats were trapped on Bembridge Harbour, on the east coast of the Isle of Wight after water temperatures dropped below -2C

Part of the sea around the UK have frozen over after the 'Beast From The East' continues to batter Britain with snow and sub-zero temperatures.

Boats were trapped on Bembridge Harbour, on the east coast of the Isle of Wight after water temperatures dropped below -2C.

Temperatures on the Isle dipped below -6C overnight and an amber weather warning has been issued for today. 




Temperatures in London remained just below freezing at around -2C as the deep freeze set in.  

Storm Emma, rolling in from the Atlantic, is meeting the Beast from the East's chilly Russia air - causing further widespread snowfall and bitter temperatures after the mercury fell as low as -16C last night.

The Met Office warned: 'Some roads are likely to become blocked by deep snow, stranding vehicles and passengers. Long interruptions to power supplies and other utilities are very likely to occur, along with damage to trees and other structures due to heavy snow or ice.'

On the first day of meteorological spring today, temperatures will drop to -11C during the day as Scotland was also under a 'red alert' - and London Paddington train station was closed due to 'severe weather'. 

As much as 20 inches of snow is predicted to fall across the UK tomorrow as Storm Emma makes her way closer to Britain.
