    With temperatures plummeting to minus 18 in some areas last night, forecasters are predicting another eight inches of snow across the east and south of England today as the cold snap refuses to let up.

    And rail networks are faring little better.

    With another six inches of snow falling in Kent last night, many rail companies are running highly-restricted skeleton services, with scores of journeys being cancelled.
