Brits are being warned that heavy snow could last for several days as an amber weather warning for parts of the UK comes into effect today
Ms Maxey said an "Arctic maritime air" drifting over the UK from the north is causing the widespread snowfall and it could generate "blizzard conditions" on Thursday."That Arctic maritime air will cross large swathes of the country on Thursday. There's also some strong winds around tomorrow, so that has the potential to lead to some blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow.
A snow and ice warning was also in place for much of north eastern England and north and eastern Scotland until 10am on Wednesday, and one was in place for Northern Ireland until 9am.Picture: AlamyIts severe weather alert was issued for South East and South West England and it takes effect from midday."Snow is forecast to move north into the South West and the South East tonight.
Hampshire Police said asked motorists to "avoid travelling if you can", while Wiltshire Police said driving conditions are very dangerous and they have been responding to stranded vehicles and crashes.
