Britain Wakes Up To FIVE INCHES Snow,100 Flood Alerts Issued

The UK is braced for another day of treacherous weather with the combination of ice, snow, sleet and rain resulting in perilous travel conditions.

More than two inches of snow is expected to cover parts of England, Scotland and Wales from London northwards today, with heavy showers and sleet hitting the south-east.


Forecasters warned that temperatures will plummet further tonight, with lows of -2C and -3C across England and Wales, with the worst affected areas, such as the Pennines, possibly experiencing  lows of -7C.

While the south-west is expected to be spared the heavy downpours and flash flooding it suffered yesterday, nearly 90 flood risk alerts are still in place.

After blizzards and devastating floods battered the UK yesterday, the chaos is expected to continue as large parts of Britain woke to five inches of snow and freezing temperatures.
In what is believed to be the coldest March in 50 years, forecasters warned that the unusual March weather could continue into next week.

Weather warnings are in place across the country, as the Environment Agency issued almost 90 flood alerts.
Major snow alerts are in place across much of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland and motorists  in some areas were told not to travel unless 'absolutely necessary'.
