Conditions plunged to below freezing as amber alerts were put in place – with concerns isolated towns could be cut off from power.<\/p>\n

Treacherous conditions on the road also saw a major incident declared as cops advised people to only travel if necessary.<\/p>\n

Following an influx of stranded vehicles in Cumbria, the local force said: "We are continuing to see challenging conditions in Cumbria.<\/p>\n

"Agencies across the county have been working hard and will be into the night in response to the impact of heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n

"The snow today ended up being much more significant than forecast and the amber warning that was put in place this afternoon is in place until midnight and, with a yellow warning from snow and ice tomorrow, we expect to continue to see challenging road conditions whilst these warning are in place. <\/p>\n

"Therefore, we continue to ask people to not travel and to only do so if absolutely necessary."<\/p>\n

The Met Office has since put more yellow weather warnings in place today for snow and ice.<\/p>\n

The West Mids, East Mids and headed up north towards Hull will be most affected with the alert issued until midday on Sunday.<\/p>\n

North west England and up the country towards Scotland also have an ice warning in place until 11am.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said: "A few snow flurries may continue into the early hours of Sunday, but the main hazard will be refreezing of any melted snow, or freezing of lying snow."<\/p>\n

Scotland has been warned to expect "wintry showers, with snow on hills [and] frozen surfaces may lead to some disruption to transport and infrastructure".<\/p>\n

A yellow weather warning for snow and ice will impact the south of Scotland near Edinburgh, all the way north to Stromness, from 5pm on Sunday until midday on Monday.<\/p>\n

An alert for ice is also in place for the same time period for the East Mids up to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
