The UK is facing a severe cold spell with multiple snow and ice warnings as an arctic blast sweeps through the region. Yellow warnings are in place for England, Wales, and Scotland, with snow accumulation expected to reach up to 30 cm. An amber health alert covers all of England, warning of a rise in deaths, especially in the morning when frost is thick. Dangerous driving conditions have led to travel disruptions, particularly in Greater Manchester, where a major incident was declared due to flooding. The government is working to expedite flood defenses and support affected communities.
