'Black Monday' with more snow due and swathes of ice on the roads as temperatures dropped to -8C,
Schools across the UK have been shut today after the country was hit by a so-called 'snowbomb' yesterday.
Thousands of homes were left without power and Brits faced travel chaos as trains and flights were cancelled.
In particular, Birmingham will grind to a halt on Monday after all of its schools will close because of the snow.

Why do they call a day where things are brought to a halt by snow black Monday? Shouldnt be white Monday?
No doubt. 👍
Have the Brits ever checked their Latitude?
Yes, but that might be racist. 😂
Maybe they can start having Frost Fairs on the Thames again.
That's really what I click on the page to read.
;p
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.
Yep.
I wonder if anyone ever accused Bing Crosby of being a racist, for singing that song?
They know, of course, but their latitude does not reflect their weather as ours in North America does.
Latitude Isnt Everything (How the Gulf Stream Makes Europe Warm)
I lived in Europe for several years. Latitude-wise, I was deep into Canada (almost to the Hudson Bay). Weather-wise, no where near that. But the summers had daylight at 10:30pm, and in the winter it got dark around 3:15pm.
Looks like just another winter day in Pennsylvania. Did they stock up on milk, eggs, bread and beer?
AND snow is WHITE. Who is to blame for that? Whoever it is they are one huge RACIST.....
after lows of -12.2C overnight with WORSE still to come.
-12.2C = 10 degrees Fahrenheit, for those of you playing along at home.
I think a group handed out a petition to do so to see if college students would sign it. Yup, they did.

This is unexpected. Just three years ago I heard that there would be no more snow due to Global Warming. What happened? Surely not #FakeNews. Again. Or is it?
God made the snow the color it is. 😊
Speaking of that, I dont think anyone today, would EVER make a movie called Snowwhite and the 7 vertically challenged guys.
That sounds like something Jesse Watters would do, as a prank, to see how many brainless idiots are out there. I think there are bunches of them.
Cool little weather app. down the page on the linked article.
