Bristol Airport temporarily closed for “snow clearing operations” with morning flights cancelled, and delays are also affecting passengers at other airports in the south of England. Ms Maxey said an “Arctic maritime air” drifting over the UK from the north is causing the widespread snowfall and it could generate “blizzard conditions” on Thursday. “There’s also some strong winds around tomorrow, so that has the potential to lead to some blizzard conditions and drifting of lying snow.” Ms Maxey said average snow levels of 2-5cm are expected across much of the UK tomorrow, including in major northern cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle. National Highways has issued a “severe weather alert” for snow in parts of England for Wednesday afternoon – asking people only to travel when essential on these parts of the road network.
