UK Heavy snow hits much of England

Heavy snow has fallen across large parts of England disrupting travel and closing schools as forecasters warned of the most severe snow for six years.

The Met Office has issued an extreme weather warning for England, Wales and parts of eastern Scotland. More snow is forecast later and on Tuesday.

The Met Office is warning of severe weather for much of the country over the coming days, in what is expected to become the heaviest snowfall since January 2003.

i remmember at the 2nd Febuary 2009. we had very bad weather. i woke up at 9:00am on tuseday. i turned on the tv & radio. it was saying: " A Snow Storm Warning Has Been Issued For England and London. Schools Have Been Closed. Untill The Snow Storm Ends". (but it didn't.) ( it stayed the same for a few weeks). i peeked out my window. and i saw MASSIVE snow like

45 cm on the ground.

The video here shows just a snuff of snow. But if some places actually got 45 cm that's a fair amount, even for Canadian standards - all in one storm that is...

Last year, we had a total accumulation of over 4 meters of snow over the entire winter. This winter it's not so much snow with here and there 5 to 15 cm of snow at the time (of course this builds up over time), but the temperature has been cold, frequently near -20C, and once -28C...
