YORKSHIRE continued to feel the big chill today after temperatures plummeted to -11C overnight.
Cold south-easterly winds and ground frost were expected to keep temperatures below zero today, despite bright sunshine across the county.
A weather centre spokesman said: "The temperature was -10.9C in Linton-on-Ouse, our nearest weather station to York. It's not going to be as cold tonight, but it will probably be -3C or -4C.
"There will be a cold south-easterly wind over the next few days so it will feel just as cold."
The west of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and western Scotland should become increasingly mild, but the east will remain frosty.
