Snow and ice hit parts of UK as some schools closed and travel disrupted

The Woodhead Pass between Hollingworth and Flouch in Derbyshire reopened on Wednesday afternoon after it had been closed in both directions due to overnight snowfall.
Meanwhile in Wales, the B4391 in Gwynedd between Rhyd y Sarn and Pen y Bryn has been closed in both directions, in the country’s north-west.
Traffic Scotland, which monitors the country’s roads, has said that frequent snow showers may lead to disruption in areas with weather warnings.
Gritters are patrolling roads to carry out extra treatment where needed in south-east and north-west Scotland, according to Bear Scotland, which maintains trunk roads.
Calmac ferries in Scotland have warned some services have been cancelled, while others are “liable to disruption or cancellation at short notice”.
Bus and train service delays and cancellations are also possible.
Travellers are advised to plan their route, check for any delays, closures or cancellations, and give themselves ample time to prepare and travel.
