SCHOOLS across the country are closing classrooms today as Britain is overwhelmed by snow and ice warnings.
He saw the Met Office issue a number of yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Several schools have been closed due to snow.
The mercury fell well below zero last night as snow and ice blew across the country during a cold spell.
And Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said the cold weather is expected to persist into next week.
