Thousands of motorists had to be rescued after breaking down, with the AA
reporting a further 23 call-outs to cars stuck in the snow, weather-related
speed restrictions were imposed in East Anglia, and more than 30 flights
were cancelled out of Heathrow Airport.
Forecasters said eastern parts of the country could experience a further 10cm
(4ins) of snow throughout the rest of the day and warned that freezing
conditions overnight could cause serious problems with icy roads tomorrow.
The Met Office upgraded its "cold weather action" warning to level
three - one underneath a national emergency - for all of England, urging
social and healthcare services to target specific actions at vulnerable
people.
