New ice warning after snow forces 200 schools to close

Snow fell across large swathes of the country on Monday night and yesterday morning, including in London, Wales, Scotland and the Midlands. The "first taste of winter" caused mass disruption as by yesterday afternoon more than 200 school closures had been reported, with around 140 recorded in Wales. Thousands of train passengers also suffered disruption yesterday.

Britons have been told to brace for more extreme weather, with the Met Office issuing further warnings for ice for much of southern England, the Midlands and eastern Wales until 10am today.
