LONDON: Police warned people not to travel as heavy snow and ice brought disruption to parts of the UK, closing coronavirus vaccination centres and schools.
The Met Office has issued severe amber snow warnings for London and south-east England, where heavy snow is likely to cause long delays on roads as well as affecting rail and air travel. Around 5cm-10cm (2in-4in) is set to fall in these areas, reaching up to 30cm (11.8in) in the worst affected regions.
Another amber warning is in place for Nottinghamshire and north to Sheffield, as well as east into Lincolnshire. Both warnings said power cuts are likely, along with interruptions to mobile phone services.
