Blizzards, high winds and snow hit Britain on Thursday, as transport networks saw disruption caused by the wintry weather. Europe has already been impacted by snow and freezing temperatures.
Coastal flood warnings and the precautionary evacuation of an Essex village indicate the weather will continue to cause havoc across Britain. If you’ve been affected we’d like to hear from you.
Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security is most important. When responding to this assignment, please make sure you put your safety and the safety of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
