A severe snowstorm has disrupted travel and daily life across northwestern England. Manchester and Liverpool John Lennon airports remain closed, with hundreds of flights canceled. Public transport is heavily impacted, and power outages have been reported in several areas.

The Met Office has issued a Yellow Warning for snow and ice, urging residents to avoid non-essential travel as freezing conditions persist. Authorities are working to restore normalcy but caution that challenges may continue over the next 48 hours.
