London is under inches of snow for the first* time for years. Parts of the country are under several feet of snow.
Throughout Britain the maximum temperature is 28 degrees and the minimum, 12 degrees. The Channel services are dislocated. A British Official Wireless message says 25 degrees of frost were recorded at Dalwhinnil, Scotland.
