The
first day of meteorological spring is kicking off with gale-force
winds and whiteouts, causing further misery for travellers as storm
Emma is set to bring more misery later on in the day.
With
windchill temperatures of -20 deg C (-4 deg F) from "The Beast
Of The East," heavy snowfall and the eighth named storm of the
year "Emma" bringing galeforce winds and another 50cm of
snow, parts of the UK have been put on a red 'danger to life' weather
warning for South-West England South Wales and Scotland.
Hundreds
of people were reported stranded on motorways overnight.
The
Met office has issued a red 'danger to life' weather warning for
South-West England South Wales and Scotland as the bitter cold and
snow will combine with Storm Emma, closing schools and businesses and
causing travel chaos with many airports closed or expected to close.
According
to The Independent, many roads have been left impassable by drifts of
snow, while trains and flights have also been hit by delays and
cancellations as Storm Emma rolls in from the Atlantic and meets the
chilly Siberian air of the so-called "Beast from the East".
The
National Grid has issued a "gas deficit warning" over fears
supplies could run out as temperatures plummet across the UK.
The
operator issued the guidance at 5 am as supply slipped 48 million
cubic metres short of demand.
A
spokesperson said the notice was a "first stage" warning to
say "it's looking tight", which will remain in place until
5 am on Friday.
Met
Office warning.
Widespread
snow is expected to develop through Thursday afternoon and evening.
Around
10-20 cm is likely to fall widely, with the potential for up to 30 to
50 cm over parts of Dartmoor, Exmoor and parts of southeast Wales.
Snowfall
will be accompanied by strong to gale easterly winds, leading to
severe drifting of lying snow, especially in upland areas. Severe
cold and wind chill will compound the dangerous conditions, with very
poor visibility.
Towards
midnight, there is a chance of snow turning to freezing rain in
places, mainly across the south of the area, with widespread icy
stretches making driving conditions particularly dangerous.
