Snow and ice have been causing chaos across the UK, with commuters facing delays and road closures.

Some schools have shut their doors as parents and staff struggled to make the journey in the treacherous conditions or heating systems stopped working. Others have started later in the day to allow a safety assessment in the morning.

The disruption looks set to continue on Wednesday, with schools across the country saying they plan to close as the cold snap continues.

The Met Office has warned the wintry conditions will likely continue throughout the week, with a risk of sleet and snow in some places.
