Northerly winds coupled with below-zero temperatures tonight will cause misery in flood-hit towns and villages across the country.
In Yorkshire, where floods have caused widespread destruction and travel chaos, wiintry showers could develop in higher areas and widespread frost is expected.
Today Scarborough Council said five homes in Whitby will have to be demolished after a landslide.
The traditional fishermen's cottages, built into the steep cliffside, became structurally unsound after heavy rain caused subsidence in gardens in Aelfleda Terrace.
Structural engineers who inspected the houses said they could not be saved.
