The UK is experiencing severe winter weather, with snow and ice leading to the closure of around 200 schools and widespread transport disruptions. The Met Office has issued snow and ice warnings, particularly affecting northern England and Scotland, where significant snowfall is expected. Commuters encountered delays and cancellations in train services, and power cuts may impact rural areas. The cold snap has raised health concerns for vulnerable populations, prompting health alerts as temperatures plummet across the country. As more snow is forecast, authorities are urging caution on the roads and in public spaces.
