It appears its getting cold again for Thursday with early warnings of rain, sleet and snow.
With the bad weather comes the ice and as this link from the BBC shows the dangers of ice on frozen ponds.

Again this year the pressures on the emergency services has increased during the cold weather. This includes the Coastguard up and down the country using their 4x4 vehicles and local knowledge to support other services but more importantly their communities.
As this link from the main MCA shows, the Coastguard have been busy in Scotland supporting the NHS.
