AS parts of the UK continue to be hit by snow, we round up 10 products that will help keep you warm.
Storm Darcy – dubbed the “Beast from the East II” – has brought freezing blizzards to the UK from Russia.
Latest forecasts predict some parts of the country will get another 10 inches of snow today, while temperatures are due to drop to -18C.
There are fears towns could become “cut off” due to Storm Darcy with travel chaos also expected.
A yellow weather warning for snow remains in place across Britain until midnight on Wednesday, with the Met Office warning “frequent snow showers may lead to travel disruption in places”.
As the cold weather is set to continue, here are 10 products to help keep you warm:
