Snow and ice swept across the UK as Britain faces days of tough weather.

Parts of Scotland, south-western England, the Midlands, north-western England and Wales were thrown into travel chaos.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.

Met Office meteorologist Ellie Wilson said: "It's looking to stay quite chilly through next week with frost overnight and some cold temperatures in the day as well."Through Sunday morning, most wintry showers are going to be focused on northern parts of the UK - so Scotland - and the south west of England," she said.

"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.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, consultant in public health medicine at UKHSA, said: "Cold weather can have serious consequences for health, and older people and those with heart or lung conditions can be particularly at risk.

SHOCK HORROR. IN WINTER

Typical chaos Britain brought to a standstill over snow again every British person should have to as part of the driving test go on a skidpan Or live in Sweden for a month

Why on earth didn't tell us it's the wrath of Harry and Meghan raining down on us with a smattering of rage from the strikers, remainers and Russia, all stirred up because Labour were in power over 12 yrs ago?

It's a dusting of snow ffs 😂 calm down

I think it’s called winter.

Battered? It's a few inches deep ffs!!!

Back in the day when it did snow in winter and at Christmas it was expected / normal. Now the media has weaponized it, it's climate change, or the country is being battered.

Clearly this country's not prepared despite the lies from the Con Party. No doubt Putin will be blamed for our lack of winter preparation. No worries come spring the energy companies will tell us how much billions in profit they've made in the last quarter. We'll moan then forget

Are the Express or Mail writing your headlines now. 'Battered' by winter weather isn't news.

Battered? Less than an inch of snow and no wind Utter balderdash, try reporting the facts which anyone can check looking out of a window FakeNews

We're acting as if this is the first time we've seen snow and ice. The first hint of cold weather and this country always grinds to a halt. One airport closed due to ice, were told by the Con Party to set out heating to 18'c,, we have those pathetic warm hubs

Its winter , thats what happens

Global warming innit.

It’s winter isn’t it?

Perfect Brexit weather. Bosh! 😂😂😂💩💩💩

Battered? What

Ain't global warming a capricious baitch ?! 🤫

Omg really, snow? Like, what happens every year? Who'd have predicted that! It is baffling that snow makes the news.

No, no, no, no!! As per ClimateScam religion, there is a HEAT WAVE in the UK. That's why we need to JustStopOil!! You MUST ignore your eyes and ears, and you must force yourself to become hot by putting on 5 sweaters, and sweat profusely. Keep the faith!! Climate Akbar!!

Surprised that some of your hosts haven't jumped on the Daily Mail band-wagon and started whinging about all this foreign weather coming over and invading our skies.

Battered?

May come as a shock to you but it is WINTER .

Battered! 🤣 Jesus Christ, the media’s next non existent storm to whip up unjustified hysteria makes landfall everyone… 🙄

This is snow you do peddle some stupid headline battered by snow I think not !!!!

Winter doing winter things klaxon.

Climate change

'battered by snow' 😅😅😅 fuck me, you sound like the Daily Express.

Please more snow so our Xmas actually looks like all the Xmas films and adverts

Powerful words from Ayanna Pressley: 'We cannot remain silent when our government sends $3.8 billion of military aid to Israel that is used to demolish Palestinian homes, imprison Palestinian children, and displace Palestinian families. A budget is a reflection of our values.'

In Canada this would be treated as a light dusting!
