UK weather: Storm Larisa batters UK with snow stalling M62 traffic
The Guardian says Storm Larisa is battering parts of the UK, with gales and blizzards causing significant disruption including trapping motorists for hours overnight on a motorway in the north of England.
The Met Office has issued amber warnings for northern England, the Midlands, north Wales and Northern Ireland, where “significant disruption” to transport and power supplies is expected.
Yellow warnings for snow cover much of the rest of the UK, with the exception of south-east England and western Scotland.
The Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said the storm, which has been named by the French weather service, was bringing rain and snow to the UK.
