There was heavy snow in Scotland on Monday with further wintry flurries in Cumbria and the North East of England.

But forecasters are predicting a brief respite from the worst of the winter weather before more unsettled conditions later in the week.

Dumfries and Galloway Police said heavy snow had caused tailbacks on the A74(M) motorway, which links Scotland and England. A spokesman said snow was affecting the northbound carriageway, north of Junction 15.

Victoria Kettley, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said it will turn very cold overnight on Monday night with wintry showers spreading eastwards, but tomorrow will be brighter.

She said: "There will be ice on the roads and some frost. It will still be fairly breezy but not as bad as it has been over the weekend.

"Tuesday is going to be a fairly fine day, with much of the UK dry and fine, although it will feel chilly in the wind."

Wild weather over the weekend saw downpours and severe gusts which reached more than 100mph in parts of the UK, toppling trees and cutting off power lines. A woman in her 30s was killed when a falling tree struck her car in Co Down, Northern Ireland, on Saturday.

Meanwhile, a cargo ship lost 1,500 metric tonnes of timber as it negotiated rough seas in the English Channel.

A spokesman for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said that the Russian-registered Sinegorsk reported on Monday morning that it had lost the wood around 14 miles off the coast of Newhaven, East Sussex.
