Sitting in my London flat, writing about snow days has filled me with some envy as I report on the weather.

It's been drab and cold here, but no signs of the extreme weather I've been writing about.

There's been snow across Scotland and northern England causing travel chaos, power cuts and many closed schools.

Heavy flooding elsewhere has seen two major incidents declared and 50 primary school children rescued from a school.

And as we head into another night, there are three active Met Office yellow weather warnings for snow and ice blanketing much of the UK.

Wherever you are, stay safe. We've got this article with more about today's events, and what to expect tomorrow.

We're ending our live coverage now, thanks for joining us.

Your editors today were Rorey Bosotti, Jacqueline Howard and Owen Amos.

We've been covering the weather around the UK today, from snowy scenes to flooded houses. But what is it going to do tomorrow?

Here's the weather warnings in place from the Met Office:

• In Scotland, a yellow warning for snow and ice remains in place until midday on Tuesday. It covers the west coast, Highlands, Inner and Outer Hebrides, Shetland, Orkney, parts of Aberdeenshire and Moray
• All of Northern Ireland is under a yellow warning for snow and ice until 11:00 GMT
• A yellow snow and ice warning is also in place for Wales and parts of England, including the west Midlands, south west, and Manchester, until 10:00 GMT

On the Met Office website, external, it says these warnings have a "medium likelihood and a low impact".

As we've been reporting throughout the day, the current weather conditions have been causing severe disruptions across the UK.

While some roads shut earlier in the day have since reopened to traffic, Highway England and Traffic Scotland are still reporting multiple closures:

• The A1 is closed in Lincolnshire between the B6326 and B1174 due to “extensive flooding”, according to National Highways
• Flooding has also closed the A52 between the A60 Ruddington and the A606 Wheatcroft.
• The A66 is closed in Country Durham/Cumbria due to snow
• Flooding has also closed the A628 Woodhead Pass, which is closed in both directions
• And the A46 is closed in Warwickshire between the A4177 and M40 following a collision and flooding
• In Scotland, the A9 is closed at Newtonmore due to an accident, and the Bridge of Dye is closed due to adverse weather

The government is planning to "refresh" its approach to funding flood defences to make sure "challenges facing businesses and rural and coastal communities" are kept in mind, the environment minister has said.

Speaking in the Commons earlier, Emma Hardy said a review of the existing flood funding formula will start this year, with the aim of bringing in a new approach from April 2026.

She added: "Flood defence integrity is at its lowest since 2009/10, with approximately 60,000 properties less well protected than if flood defences were at an optimal condition.

"This is why we're investing £2.4 billion over the next two years to build and maintain flood defences."

In case you're planning on using rail travel this evening, here's a list of disruptions to train services across the UK:

In Scotland:

• The Highland Mainline between Inverness and Aviemore is experiencing delays due to snowfall
• Trains between Inverness to Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow are all affected and likely to be delayed because of the snow
• There are delays between Glasgow and Ayr, and Ayr and Stranraer until 21:00 GMT, because of a signalling fault

In England:

• Disruption between Peterborough and Leicester
• Disruption between Derby and East Midlands Parkway/Nottingham
• Disruption between Crewe and Runcorn
• Disruption between Birmingham Moor Street and Stratford-upon-Avon via Whitlocks End
• There's no Merseyrail service between Hooton and both Chester and Ellesmere Port today
• Trains are delayed or cancelled between Manchester Victoria and Chester, and also Manchester Oxford Road and Liverpool Lime Street until the end of the day
• Trains won't be calling at Rotherham Central and Gathurst (in direction of Southport) until the end of the day
• There are delays and diversions between Manchester Oxford Road and Warrington Central

In Northern Ireland:

• Due to heavy snow, all routes within Londonderry are heavily congested, and Foyle Metro, Ulsterbus and Goldline services are subject to delay and disruption

In Wales:

• Buses replace trains between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog

Judi Beresford, the assistant chief fire and rescue officer at Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service says the situation has "calmed down a little bit" from a fire and rescue point of view, but dreadful conditions still exist.

She tells the BBC News channel that floodwater is really difficult to predict as water can rise at a tremendous pace, warning residents to stay out of the water and not to drive.

"You may think you know an area, but you really don't, particularly when it's under water," she says.

"If you need to get sandbags, contact your local council. If you get stuck in water, dial 999."

Take a look at some pictures we've seen today, following heavy rainfall and flooding across England.

Tonight the weather will feel quieter, as the area of low pressure which gave us the snow and rain this morning has cleared eastwards, but it leaves behind it some very cold air and some wintry showers.

There will be a widespread frost with temperatures dropping widely below freezing and the risk of ice almost anywhere, not just within the warning areas, but also further east where there has been snowmelt and the ground is still wet from recent rain.

There are various warnings in force for snow and ice issued by the Met Office.

There’s a warning for Wales, north-west England and parts of south-west and central southern England valid until 10am tomorrow morning. There will be further wintry showers blowing in on a north-westerly wind through the evening and overnight period. These showers could be frequent and fall as sleet or snow especially over the high ground where there could be some accumulations.

Another snow and ice warning has been issued for Norther Ireland with possibly 5cm of snow over the Sperrins. This warning is valid until 11:00 tomorrow

Another warning for snow and ice covers northern and western Scotland until 11:00. Again there will be wintry showers with accumulations of 5-10cm over 200m.

There will be further sporadic wintry showers in the same sort of areas tomorrow but for many it will be dry with some sunshine but just very cold with temperatures no higher than mid-single figures.

There is a separate warning in place for possible snow across southern counties of England on Wednesday valid from 09:00 until midnight which could be disruptive and produce as much as 2-5cm of snow fairly widely. At the moment though the forecast for this remains uncertain.

It's been a day of severe weather for many across the UK, with weather warnings continuing until Tuesday.

Here's what has been happening so far:

• Major incidents have been declared in Lincolnshire and Leicestershire and Rutland due to severe flooding
• A group of 50 children have been rescued after they became trapped in a primary school in Edenham, Lincolnshire, when the main road outside the school flooded
• They are among more than 100 people rescued from floodwaters across the country

• There are three yellow snow and ice warnings in place until Tuesday morning, issued by the Met Office, covering most of Scotland, all of Northern Ireland, and parts of north-west and south-west England and Wales
• There are 193 flood warnings and 305 flood alerts in England, and one warning and 16 alerts in Wales

Stay safe, and stay with us, as we continue to bring you updates.

As we reported earlier, Leicestershire was the first county to declare a major incident as a result of the severe weather.

Leicestershire County Council says it had "flood gangs" attending more than 80 sites across the county to assess and put up road closures.

Earlier we reported that a group of children were trapped in a primary school in Lincolnshire following severe weather.

We can now bring you the news that they have been rescued by volunteers and reunited with their parents.

Rescuers, in 4x4 vehicles, drove through flooded roads to take the more than 50 children home, after their school was cut off by water.

Dave Lynch, from Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, told BBC Radio Lincolnshire that the children "had a great adventure, and they’re back with their parents now and safe".

"We were flooded with volunteers who served the community across Lincolnshire. They have been fantastic we have successfully got all the kids out."

In flood-stricken Lincolnshire, some locals have turned to water-based modes of transport to get around.

Guy Marsden was spotted kayaking through his garden in Cammeringham.

A group of children are trapped in a primary school in Edenham, as emergency services work to get them out, the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum says.

In a post on X, it says that the children are "safe and well".

The Lincolnshire Community Assistance Team adds that they are trapped due to "major flooding on the main road."

It isn't clear how many children are trapped, but the assistance team adds that responders are on scene.

As we reported earlier, a major incident has been declared in Lincolnshire due to severe flooding.

A little while ago, we shared dramatic footage from Leicestershire, showing a woman being pulled out of a submerged car.

The video shows Cimi Kazazi wade through waist-high water in the village of Great Glen, Leicestershire, before carrying the woman out of the car to safety.

Kazazi, owner of The Italian Greyhound restaurant, says he "didn't think twice" about going to the aid of the driver, who had become stuck outside his venue at about 07:00 on Monday.

He says he took the woman inside his restaurant so she could dry off and recover.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, adds: "I have never been in a situation like this before. I was getting freezing and feeling very dizzy.

"They got to me at just the nick of time."

She says people "have been so supportive. Without them I would have been in hospital.

"I can't thank them enough. They have been so wonderful."

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service has declared a major incident in response to widespread flooding across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

In England, there are currently 177 flood warnings, meaning flooding is expected, and 314 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible. Here are some of the details:

• Nearly 100 of those flood warnings are in the East Midlands, with dozens more across the West Midlands

• The Environment Agency has issued around 27 flood warnings for Lincolnshire, where a major incident has been declared
• Water levels in the River Soar are rising, leading to a major incident in Leicestershire where there is a risk of properties being flooded
• Two flood warnings issued for Yalding, in Kent, remain in place on the River Medway. Some properties are expected to flood as river levels continue to rise

• Several areas across East and West Sussex remain affected by flooding after heavy rain over the weekend, with around seven flood warnings 25 flood alerts remaining in place across the region

The Environment Agency says local flooding from rivers is probable in parts of England, and possible more widely today and into Tuesday. Properties may flood, and there may be travel disruption.

Two flood warnings, and 18 flood alerts have also been put in place by National Resources Wales.

John Mcmellion from Stourport says he has been left stranded without food or drink in floodwater, after his company van broke down.

He says he came to a halt on Balsall Street, Coventry, after another car drove through the water opposite him and flooded his engine.

“I’m in a transit van and it’s up to the door,” he tells BBC Radio CWR.

“The police have been out to see me and say they can’t do anything about it."

He adds that the company that own the van said they could not help until the water had subsided.

“I didn’t pick a coat up today, I wasn't expecting to be stuck anywhere."

Describing the scene around him, he says: "I’ve got the River Blythe on my left that I can see is flowing quite freely, and then I’ve got fields on my right with big puddles on, and water just flowing straight off it.

"If I actually knew the county well I might’ve chosen a different road."

As we mentioned in the post below, Lincolnshire has now become the second county to declare a major incident due to heavy flooding after Leicester earlier today.

Fifty-six people have been rescued by emergency services across Leicestershire and Rutland after Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service received more than 200 calls since the morning.

Crews have been on the scene for incidents including car flooding, evacuating homes and rising water levels. People are advised to avoid flooded routes and floodwater.

Leicestershire County Council says it had "flood gangs" attending more than 80 sites across the county to assess and put up road closures.

Leicestershire Police adds the most severely affected areas included Melton, the south of the county and Rutland.

• Major incident as 56 people rescued from floods

Earlier today, we heard from one Lincolnshire woman who was "upset beyond words" after her home was surrounded by floods of water.

Now, we hear a major incident has been declared in the area following the heavy rain and widespread flooding.

The Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF) said that in addition to the current floods it is concerned about freezing temperatures across the county overnight.

The group, which co-ordinates emergency services in the county, also confirmed 16 people had been rescued from properties in Billingborough, near Bourne, and are being temporarily housed in a village hall.

The Environment Agency has issued 26 flood warnings for Lincolnshire, including areas near Bourne, Grantham, Lincoln and Sleaford.

Supt Pat Coates, from Lincolnshire Police, says: "The south of the county is bearing the brunt of the problems and we're seeing the biggest impact there."
