It's that time of year again in the Yorkshire Dales, as snow has made its appearance and covered the landscape in a crisp white blanket. The winter weather has also caused some disruptions, with schools across the UK being forced to close their doors once again. The Met Office has issued yellow weather alerts for multiple regions, including Birmingham, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the east of England, warning of dangerous conditions.
As a result, schools are taking extra precautions and considering closing for the day. In Aberdeenshire, heavy snowfall has already led to the closure of some schools, while others in Oxfordshire have had to shut down due to issues with their electrical and water supply. Concerned parents are advised to check online to see if their child's school has reopened for the day.
In the meantime, here is a list of schools that have been confirmed closed for the day: Orion Academy and Alford Academy in Aberdeenshire, as well as Alford Primary School, Auchterless School, Crudie School, Drumblade School, Gordon Schools, Kennethmont School, Rhynie School, Towie School, and Turriff Academy. In Dudley, Beacon Hill Academy, Dormston School, Jessons Primary, Bishop Milner, and Alder Coppice Primary School are also closed. And in Madeley, Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School, St. Patrick's Catholic Primary School, and St. Peter's C of E Primary School are not open today.
The winter weather has also caused some picturesque scenes, as houses in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire are covered in a thick layer of snow this morning. However, it's important to remember that it can also be dangerous, especially for vulnerable individuals such as the elderly. Charity Age UK has issued a warning and urged people to check in on their elderly friends, family, and neighbors to ensure they are well-prepared for the cold weather.
Dr. Agostinho Sousa from the UK Health Security Agency also emphasized the importance of staying vigilant during the winter season. He stated, "This is the first amber Cold Weather Health Alert of the season, but we can expect more as we approach winter. It is vital to check on vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly, to make sure they are well-equipped to handle the cold weather." So let's all do our part and look out for those who may need a helping hand during this chilly time of year.
