UK weather: Snow blankets Britain as kids rejoice but travellers warned over icy conditions - Mirror

Travellers were told to expect icy conditions across a swathe of the country with a number of warnings issued by the Met Office

Many Britons will be waking up to snowy conditions this morning after a 100-mile wide corridor of snow swept across the UK.

Travellers were told to expect icy conditions across a swathe of the country as yellow warnings for snow and ice covering the South East, London, through to Birmingham, and into areas such as Liverpool, Leeds and Sheffield, up into the North West and parts of Scotland - was issued.

The Met Office had said that snow had been "expected to fall along a relatively narrow corridor, perhaps only 100 miles wide" and forecaster Sophie Yeomans said "that band of sleet and snow is staying over the country, but it is dying out".

Of the band of snow which has moved eastwards across Britain, she said: "In low-lying areas some people might be waking up to 2-4cm of snow and possibly more, 5-10cm, on the higher ground. There could be a dusting for many places."
