 * Snow began to fall over the Midlands, Wales and the Pennines overnight and continues for much of the day. The rate of snowfall was quite heavy, around 6 centimetres an hour, and as a result many areas were covered within half an hour of the snow starting to fall. Transport is severely disrupted with many people trapped in their cars and all rail services in the Midlands cancelled.
