Heavy snowfall across UK

Heavy snowfall continues to cause headaches for many commuters  across the United Kingdom, closing airports and motorways, and  forcing hundreds of schools to remain closed.

On Tuesday, a driver was killed when two trucks collided on a motorway near Manchester in northwest England, and 15-thousand incidents across the country were reported.

People were working round the clock to ease the chaos the bad weather had brought.

Dr. James Leggate, Spokesperson of Salford Royal Infirmary, said, "Normal day to day services are having to be curtailed, and we are delivering the urgent and emergency care which is obviously the priority in this particular weather time."

Up to 40 centimeters of snow fell in parts of the country as the bad weather headed south from Scotland.

Britain's weather service said unusually heavy snow was expected in the south on Wednesday, although the UK's capital London was largely expected to be spared from the worst weather.
