The Met Office has extended its 'yellow' weather warning, while the cold snap continues to impact railways, airways, and roads.
Amid sub-zero conditions, the Met Office has made clear that the -10C arctic blast which first hit the UK earlier this month won’t be defrosting anytime soon.
People have been cautioned to stay wary of slippery surfaces, which will become more dangerous as snow and sleet continue to smother parts of the country. Amid the big freeze, drivers have reportedly been stuck on sleet-ridden roads for hours longer than they should have been - with thousands stranded for several hours on the M25 after it closed both ways between Hertfordshire's Junction 23 and Junction 25.The runway closures and flight cancellations that hit major UK airports earlier this week, as a result of the 5inch snowfall, is likely to continue over the following few days.
The Sussex-based airport also urged passengers to check their flight status' with their airlines online, and to research local travel conditions before setting off for the airport.
