BRITAIN is braced for its coldest winter in 20 years next week when a "beast from the East" front roars in from Siberia.
Bitter gales will send temperatures plummeting to around -15C (5F), colder than the North Pole. In some remote areas of the North the windchill factor could make it feel like -30C.

With parts of the country already shivering through -13C on Wednesday night, forecasters say even colder air will sweep in from next Monday......

Britain is facing a week of freezing conditions and possible heavy snowfall when Siberian winds dubbed the 'Beast from the East' bring us bitterly cold weather.

Fierce winds blowing in from eastern Russia will lash the North East after a fairly mild weekend, bringing freezing temperatures and ice to test families already struggling in the extreme conditions.

Eastern areas including Lincolnshire and Newcastle will again bear the brunt of the severe weather, which brought misery to rush-hour this morning after commuters battled through four inches of snow and temperatures of -7C.
