Car crashes and flight cancellations as Britain battered by snow and ice - and there's more on the way

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. "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.
