As well as air travel, passengers travelling by train today may also see disruption, National Rail has said.

Great Western Railway is currently being affected by poor weather, as continuing heavy snow affecting the road network in the Wiltshire area means rail replacement buses are currently not able to serve Westbury Station.

The station has been closed since 27 December and is scheduled to reopen on 23 January to allow Network Rail to carry out improvements to the track in the area.

Poor weather is currently affecting various routes as Northern, ScotRail and TransPennine Express services may also be affected.

Some operators are additionally still managing the impact of weather issues from earlier in the week.

Speed restrictions and line closures due to ice and snow are measures that can be used by the operator to ensure trains can continue running safely.

As part of the ongoing airport disruption, at 08:00 GMT Leeds Bradford Airport issued a statement to say their runway is currently closed.

The airport added that teams are "working hard to clear snow" and minimise impact to flights.

They have also postponed their long stay and car rental shuttle bus until at least 10:00 GMT.

Some morning departures have been rescheduled to later in the day.

Liverpool's John Lennon Airport has issued an update in the last few moments to say their runway remains "temporarily closed" but that they are "working hard" to clear it.

Meanwhile, Manchester Airport has said their runways remain closed "after continued heavy snow in the last hour".

Speaking with the BBC this morning, Manchester Airport said they have had a number of diversions this morning as planes have been unable to land - some of which have gone to London.

National Highways has a severe weather alert in place for snow for England until midnight tonight.

They have warned that up to 25cm of snow could hit roads in northern England.

This includes the A628 Woodhead Pass, which connects Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire through the Peak District and was closed overnight in both directions between the A616 at Flouch and the A57 at Hollingworth, because of snow.

The A66 in County Durham and Cumbria was also closed between the M6 and A1M because of the conditions.

As well as snow, National Highways warned rain may initially fall on frozen ground and lead to ice, with areas of high ground, including the Cotswolds and Peak District, most at risk.

The National Grid are managing a number of power cuts this morning across the Midlands, South West and in Wales.

At the time of writing, 113 properties are without power in Derby, 130 at a postcode close to Weston-Super-Mare, 82 in Newport and 28 in Birmingham.

The National Grid estimate to be able to resolve the majority by the early afternoon.

As a reminder, the incident information notices do not specifically mention that the weather is the cause of the power outages.

As we've been reporting this morning, some airports within the UK have temporarily closed their runways due to the snow.

Travel disruption is common in the UK when the weather takes a turn for the worse, but we're not known for our tropical weather at the best of times - so why do we face flight chaos during bad weather?

While planes are designed to deal with the likes of snow and ice, fog and high winds, air traffic control often imposes strict safety limits in these situations.

As a result, "airports go into a kind of slow motion" with the spacing between arriving and departing aircraft increased, says travel expert Simon Calder.

As forecast, it has been very wintry through the night and many across the north of England and Wales will be waking up to snow this morning.

Further south, there was snow across the south western counties of England, central southern England and Wales and even across Sussex, Surrey and Kent - especially over the high ground - but it's now turned back to rain in milder air.

Temperatures are now at 13C in Yeovilton in Somerset. The rain in the south will continue on and off through the day with brisk winds for channel coasts and East Anglia.

Snow is still falling across northern England and north Wales where we could still see significant accumulations particularly over the higher ground of the Pennines - as much as 30-40cm.

The amber warning for snow and ice has been trimmed towards the south but still includes the North Midlands, East Midlands, the Liverpool Bay Area and north Wales. There is still the small risk of some freezing rain within this area, the warning expires at midday.

I'm in the Headingley area of Leeds where it is snowing right now.

I woke up at 4am to see a covering of white but in the last hour or so the snow has started coming down again.

The BBC Weather app says "heavy snow".

I probably cleared about 4-5 centimetres of snow that had settled on the car roof overnight but have decided for the moment to stay where I am.

There are some people braving it out on the roads but I would imagine the authorities are glad it is a Sunday and not a day in the week when everyone would be trying to get to work.

Heavy snow has been moving north throughout the night and affecting much of England and Wales. Earlier snow in southern England and south Wales has now turned back to rain as milder air moves in from the south, but heavy snow continues further north.

The areas seeing heavy snow early on Sunday morning are north Wales, the north Midlands and stretching across all of Northern England. There is currently around 5cm of snow in many cities including Leeds and York.

The heaviest falls are over higher ground, especially the Pennines, and the Cumbrian Fells where we could see 40cm of snow by the end of today. There’s also some snow affecting southern Scotland, especially heavy for the Southern Uplands.

Ice is also a hazard this morning, especially for parts of Wales and central England, as rain falls onto sub-zero surfaces, freezing on contact.

It’s been a bitterly cold night for the northern half of the UK. The coldest spot last night was Loch Glascarnoch in Scotland where temperatures fell to -11C. Contrast that to southern England where temperatures are a very mild 12C.

Across the UK, we've been receiving images of snowy scenes from BBC Weather Watchers after heavy snow overnight. Driveways, houses and streets have been covered in a dusting of snow.

Good morning from a cold, wet London. Where, despite some light snowfall yesterday evening freezing cold rain has washed away what snow we had.

The picture for other parts of the country, though, is quite different. Eight Met Office weather warnings remain in place, with two amber warnings for snow and ice covering much of central and northern England.

Large parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and eastern England have yellow weather warnings for snow and ice still in place, as National Rail warns "be sure to take extra care with today's weather warnings. Make sure to check your journey before you travel".

The snow brought some disruption, as Birmingham Airport suspended operations overnight for "snow clearing and safety reasons". More disruption can be expected today due to the adverse weather conditions.

Weather Watchers have been sending in their pictures of snow coverage across the country, with some across the UK waking up to layers of snow on their cars and streets.
