It comes after flights were suspended at Leeds Bradford Airport, with other key transport routes also being disrupted.

Snow set to continue
Last night, the UK experienced its coldest night of winter so far, with -13.3°C recorded in Loch Glascarnoch in Scotland (source: Met Office) Southeast England was much milder though, with temperatures remaining in double figures in places. That mild air has now been swept away by a cold northwesterly flow, which will allow further very low overnight temperatures to occur at times this week, especially where there is snow cover. But even away from snow cover, there will be widespread night frost and below average temperatures by day.
