Snowstorm causes airport closure in Manchester and Liverpool.
This morning, a significant amount of snow has fallen across the United Kingdom, blanketing many areas in a serene white landscape. As the sun rises, the beauty of the snow is overshadowed by the chaos it has caused. In Manchester and Liverpool, airport runways have been shut down as workers scramble to clear the thick layer of snow that accumulated overnight.

At Birmingham Airport, operations were suspended for several hours in the wee hours of the morning for the safety of both passengers and staff. However, airport officials have reassured the public that everything is back on track and they are operating as usual this morning. Over at Bristol Airport, some flights had to be diverted to other airports as it temporarily closed its doors. Thankfully, it has since reopened and is back in full swing by 11pm.

According to the Met Office, some areas have seen as much as 12cm of snowfall overnight. As a result, two amber weather warnings have been issued for central and northern England, as well as Wales. The first warning, covering northern England, is set to expire at midnight tonight, while the second warning for central England will end at noon today. The rest of the country is not in the clear either, with yellow weather warnings in place.

The UK Health Agency has also issued a Cold Health Alert, urging people to take precautions as there is an increased risk to health in such weather conditions. Despite the warnings, there have been reports of a number of accidents on the M5 motorway between Weston-super-Mare and Taunton in nearby Somerset.

As the UK continues to battle the snowy weather, it is important for everyone to stay safe and take necessary measures to protect themselves. Whether it's by staying indoors or being extra cautious on the roads, let's all do our part in staying warm and keeping our surroundings safe.
