Many parts of the UK saw snow last night, after the coldest night of the year saw temperatures drop well below freezing. Unlike snowfall over the last few winters, this continued into the night and settled, causing significant disruption across the country.
Some flights out of Liverpool, Manchester, London Luton and London Gatwick have been cancelled or diverted. A section of the M25 was also closed between junctions 23 and 25, though it has now reopened, and schools have been closed throughout the UK.
