December 2009 arrived with a shiver today as temperatures across Britain plummeted to -9 following clear skies overnight with snow due to fall on exposed higher ground in Scotland later today. Another front coming in from the Atlantic is expected to dump yet more rain on the UK.

Its a double blow for motorists who leave their cars running on frosty mornings to warm up the engine and clear the windscreen could face being fined up to £40 under anti-pollution rules quietly brought in by the government in 2002. The ruling is particularly aimed at drivers of buses and taxis who sometimes leave engines running for half-an-hour or more while waiting for passengers, pumping out pollution unnecessarily.
