The Meteorological office is warning that heavy snow and freezing temperatures are expected to continue for at least another two weeks.
This follows Some of the heaviest snow fall in over 20 years. There has been heavy snow in the north-east of England and the Scottish borders, with reports of up to 30cm (12in) [...]
