Stansted Airport and several motorways were forced to close last night as snowfall caused treacherous conditions across Britain's roads and runways.
Britain's third busiest airport stopped all flights due to snow on the runway late on Sunday, while Heathrow and Gatwick airports suspended numerous departures."Passengers are advised to check with their airline for current status of their flights."
The M54 between junctions 3 and 2 in Shropshire was shut on Sunday, with added congestion also reported on the M5 slip road to the M6. A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place for many parts of Scotland, sections of Wales and south west England until midday Sunday. "There could also possibly be the odd flurry in the south Midlands - the Bristol/Bath area - but anything settling will likely be above 200-300 metres.""There's a chance that temperatures could fluctuate a little bit but we're not expecting them to become much milder than we've seen recently with overnight frost expected until at least next Friday, even into the weekend.
