coldest

The early hours of Monday saw the coldest temperatures since last winter, with minus 7.8C logged in Tulloch Bridge, Scotland.

But when does the UK's coldest season actually start?

It is among the coldest of all the planets.

Previously, it was paid to all pensioners to help with their energy bills during the coldest part of the year.

At the same time, more then 10 million pensioners will no longer get winter fuel payments to help them with bills at the coldest time of year.
