THOUSANDS of Britons have been hit by travel chaos after heavy snow swept the UK in a cold snap over the first weekend of 2025.
Several major airports were forced to temporarily close their runways due to snowfall, leading to flight cancellations and delays.
Stranded vehicles and collisions left key roads in northern England closed while rail services were cancelled across the region.
THE SNOW comes as eight weather warnings were put in place for Sunday and Monday, including snow and ice warnings across Scotland and Northern Ireland and rain warnings across England and Wales.
Meanwhile, over 250 flood alerts and warnings have also been issued by the Environment Agency, with flooding expected across much of England overnight.
