Temperatures Reach A Record Low At RAF Shaw-Brrrry

It’s been a chilly night for RAF Shawbury- the RAF base in Shrewsbury was the site of the lowest recorded temperature so far this year

Overnight, the thermometer plummeted to -13C (8.6F), beating Saturday’s record of -12.4C.

Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place, covering large parts of the country.

Stunning pictures of the base blanketed in snow have emerged, and aircraft are shown to be very much out of action as they lay dormant in the midst of the winter wonderland.

In parts of Gloucestershire, 36 homes were without power for a second night after ice and snow caused disruption across the country over the weekend.

Western Power Distribution said the outage was caused by the weather and engineers were expecting to have the power restored by 7.30am on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, dozens of schools in the South West, West Midlands and Wales will keep their gates closed for a second day following the bitterly cold conditions.

The country will also be waking up to freezing fog patches with rain and hill snow expected later in the day.
