We have been struck by gales, blizzards and flooding, but so far winter has spared most of us the worst of the icy temperatures until now.

The country is to be gripped by a deep freeze that will last for days, with a bitterly cold weekend ahead and some areas dropping to -10C by Monday.

If the predictions are right, it will be England's coldest spell for two years.

As the deep low pressure system responsible for this week's gales moves away - which flipped over a caravan in Cumbria yesterday - it will suck bitter Arctic winds in from the North.

How to Get Best Granite Countertop deal ever

Accra A GHANAIAN automobile company has made history by launching first locally-made vehicles in the country.

According to Great Kosa Automobile Company Limited interior decorator, Kwasi Frimpong, the new assembling plant has successfully implemented the general assembling of the cars, welding, spraying, testing and chemical installations.

The latest development will see locals reduce the cost of importing vehicles from overseas as the local company will do the job.

Owned by renowned Christian, Apostle Kwadwo Safo, who is the founder of Kristo Asafo Mission, Great Kosa Automobile Company Limited successfully, launched its new automobile assembling plant following the release of seven vehicles.

Frimpong said the plant, which produces seven vehicles per day would soon treble the production to a total of 20 cars per day.

The Great Kosa Automobile Company Limited's assembling plant is located at Gomoa Mpota in the Central Region.

Frimpong said the assembling plant, which was commissioned in April 2014, produces special utility vehicles (SUVs) and pick-up trucks.

Over the decades, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis wrote notes to some of her favorite designers. She even drew sketches of pieces she wanted.

This weekend, some of these letters will be auctioned off in West Palm Beach, Florida.

CBS News correspondent Vicente Arenas got an inside look at some of those highly sought-after items, and at the late first lady's flair for fashion.

Elegant, sophisticated, graceful: just some of the words that come to mind when describing Jackie O.

Her notes to her designer and to her interior decorator, being auctioned off by Rico Baca, show just how closely she cultivated her signature style.

Letters written by Jackie Onassis to her designer about clothing she wanted to have made will be auctioned in West Palm Beach

"She's inviting these people into her life, to get close to her, close enough to give her what she wanted," Baca said.

He said those notes offered designers a look into a very private part of her life.

"She would have to be a little bit vulnerable," Baca said.

The Hilton on Michigan Avenue marks a new location for the annual event, which is completely sold out for the first time since 2010. That fan response speaks to the seven impact additions general manager Rick Hahn has made to the team's strong base during this current offseason, as well as the 10-year anniversary festivities for the World Series champs, which will mark the beginning of SoxFest.

Sales already were very solid because of the 2005 connection. But thanks to a month of December in which there seemed to be a White Sox press release every other day, single-day SoxFest passes sold out in minutes when they were put on sale.

Geoff Blum, Joe Crede, Jose Contreras, Jon Garland, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez, Bobby Jenks, Scott Podsednik, Aaron Rowand and Tadahito Iguchi are scheduled to appear in representation of the 2005 champs. Iguchi still plays professionally in Japan, so he's bringing his whole family to Chicago next week in case he can't make the in-season reunion weekend from July 17-19.

Active players such as Zach Duke, Dan Jennings, David Robertson, Jeff Samardzija, Adam Eaton, Tyler Flowers, Jose Abreu, Avisail Garcia, Conor Gillaspie, Jake Petricka, Jose Quintana and Alexei Ramirez are scheduled to be in attendance, as will prospects such as Tim Anderson, Courtney Hawkins, Micah Johnson and Carlos Rodon and White Sox greats Bo Jackson, Ron Kittle, Carlos May, Bill Melton, Minnie Minoso and Billy Pierce. Manager Robin Ventura, pitching coach Don Cooper, hitting coach Todd Steverson and assistant hitting coach Harold Baines represent the staff.

John Danks originally was listed but won't be able to get to Chicago, while Chris Sale had a personal conflict causing him to miss. Paul Konerko, the captain, is taking a well-earned SoxFest off while enjoying retirement, but he will be in Chicago to have his jersey No. 14 retried via a pregame tribute on May 23. Ozzie Guillen, the manager of the 2005 team, will be out of the country but was invited.

Abreu only will be at SoxFest on Friday, leaving Saturday for the New York BBWAA Awards dinner, where he will receive his American League Rookie of the Year honor.

A different sort of video experience will be present at SoxFest, as well as a brand new interactive area that includes social media. SoxFest will have a Hall of Fame experience, with memorabilia many fans never get to see, as well as the popular garage sale.

There will be plenty of chances for fans to get autographs and take pictures with their favorite players, as well as interact through their chosen question-and-answer sessions. Town hall meetings with Hahn and Ventura are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, and with Ventura and the coaches on Sunday.

"It's a great year in the sense of the combination of excitement around the 10th anniversary for the 2005 World Series champions and the excitement around the 2015 club," said White Sox senior vice president of communications Scott Reifert concerning SoxFest.
