100mph Winds And Snow Wreak Havoc Across UK

Hundred-mile-an-hour winds and heavy snow have brought misery to people travelling around the country.

The Environment Agency issued 149 flood alerts and 32 flood warnings across England and Wales, while 21 flood warnings and seven flood alerts were in place north of the border.

Some drivers on the A9 in Scotland were stranded overnight after snow gates from Blair Atholl to Ralia were closed - the traffic began to move again by convoy at around 10am.

Police Scotland Chief Inspector Louise Blakelock said: "The conditions have been extremely difficult and agencies are working to clear the route as safely and quickly as possible.

"It was necessary to close the road due to the extreme weather conditions to ensure the safety of motorists and also allow the workforce to safely clear the route."

In England, high winds and heavy rain all along the south coast of England caused significant delays for rail travellers on lines operated by South West Trains and South Eastern Trains, with trees and flooding blocking the tracks.

Ferry crossings at the Port of Dover have also been subject to delays because of the weather, with Kent Police implementing emergency measures to back up freight traffic along the M20 near Dover in anticipation of reduced capacity at the port.

Sky News weather presenter Isobel Lang said: "West to southwesterly winds will increase this afternoon and evening over the Irish Sea into Wales and northern England with squally gusts making driving dangerous over higher routes.

"As the low pushes away northeastwards later there will also be gale force northwest winds spreading across northern Scotland, and for a time it will also be very windy along the north coast of Ireland.
