Hundreds of schools in northern Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the north of England are closed on Tuesday as weather warnings for snow and ice continue across the country into Wednesday morning.

The Met Office has extended a yellow warning for ice across most of England, Wales and southern Scotland until 10am on Wednesday, with a yellow warning for snow and ice in place until midnight on Wednesday for the rest of northern Scotland, where up to 20cm of fresh snow is expected in some areas, with strong winds causing drifting.
