Nearly five inches of snow brought travel chaos to Britain today as temperatures plummeted to minus six degrees - with flights cancelled, motorists stranded and rail services disrupted.
The UK's second-busiest airport - Gatwick in West Sussex - had to shut for more than seven hours, while there were no early-morning flights at Luton airport in Bedfordshire.
A series of accidents, including some involving jack-knifed lorries, led to road closures, with a section of the M40 in Buckinghamshire shut in both directions during the morning rush-hour.
