Severe Snow Disrupts Travel Across UK

An Arctic blast has brought heavy snow, freezing rain, and ice to Britain, causing significant travel disruptions across the UK, including runway closures at Manchester and Liverpool airports. The Met Office has issued multiple amber weather warnings, predicting up to 40cm of snow in some regions, with severe impacts reported in the Midlands, Wales, and northern England. Birmingham and Bristol airports have reopened their runways following snow clearance, but delays persist as airlines adjust schedules. Road closures have been widespread, with major routes such as the A628 and A66 affected by heavy snow and ice conditions. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a Cold-Health Alert due to the expected health risks associated with the extreme cold. Power outages have also been reported in several regions, with the National Grid working to restore services disrupted by the weather.
