They say heavy snow is likely to cause significant disruption on this morning.

It means Brits should try to avoid any unnecessary travel – and the warnings last until midday tomorrow.

Forecasters warn: “Heavy snow is likely to cause significant disruption on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.

“Strong easterly winds are expected to accompany this snow, leading to blizzards and drifting of lying snow.”

Photos show hundreds of cars that have been trapped on the M62 since 1am this morning.

Freezing conditions brought the vehicles to a standstill – and the traffic is only set to get worse as people wake up this morning across the country.
