Snowfall on Sunday evening forced airports to close their runways and left drivers struggling to get through.
The Essex airport said in a statement: “London Stansted Airport’s runway is currently closed to allow for snow clearance due to weather conditions and all flights are currently suspended.
“To allow Network Rail to check that the rails are clear of snow and ice, which can prevent trains from drawing power from the electric rail, the first trains in each direction on all routes will be cancelled,” it said. News UK said in a statement that severe weather in the South East had impacted Newsprinters in Broxbourne.
“We could see 2cm to 5cm , perhaps up to 10cm in some places, with Kent and Sussex most affected, with areas most exposed such as North and South Downs and higher ground going to see the more significant accumulations.
