quote:Parts of England are being battered by "thundersnow" storms as the winter weather continues to bite across Britain.
Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge said: "We have got snow falling in a number of areas in the North and West, including thunderstorms.
"There is thundersnow to the north of Manchester - these are normal thunderstorms but with snow rather than rain."
Main roads in Durham and Yorkshire are among those closed because of the weather and more than a dozen rail services between Manchester and York have been cancelled, as northern England is hit by the storms this morning.
Phil Verster, route managing director for Network Rail, advised train passengers to check before they travel.
A "handful" of planes at Manchester Airport were forced to circle before landing while one of their two runways was cleared of snow, an airport spokesman said.
Sky News forecaster Isobel Lang said today would see frequent snow showers in Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern parts of Ireland and in northern England.
She added: "The strong winds will blow the snow around, making driving dangerous.
Up to 15cm (6in) of snow is expected to fall in parts of the North tonight and there is also snow expected during the morning rush hour in the Northwest, on the M6 north of Cheshire, Scotland and Greater London.
In Scotland, forecasters said more than 5cm (2in) could accumulate at lower levels by this morning, with more than 15cm on high ground, making conditions treacherous for drivers.
Darron Burness, head of the AA's severe weather team, said motorists should prepare by clearing snow and ice from car windows, lights and the roof before driving.
"The wind will also make it feel bitterly cold, so at the very least take lots of warm layers, fully-charged mobile, road atlas, and make sure your car has at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in case of unexpected delays," he said.
