MUCH of Britain woke up to its heaviest snowfalls for 18 years today – and the country's travel network was left paralysed.
Experts predicted ten inches in some areas by tonight, with more than a foot in the NORTH by tomorrow.
And forecasters warned thermometers could drop to as low as -5°C (19°F) later in the week.
Motoring groups warned drivers to avoid unnecessary trips with the winds tipped to hit 35mph.
London Transport suspended its bus services because of dangerous conditions on the roads.
And on the Underground, ten of the 11 lines were either completely or partly suspended as the “quantity of snowfall” disrupted services.
Both runways at HEATHROW AIRPORT are currently closed.
A fifth of the country's workforce failed to make it into their workplace, according to the Federation of Small Businesses.
Its estimate of £1.2 billion of lost business could rise if the chaos continues for more than a day.
