Severe snowstorms caused widespread travel disruptions across England on Sunday morning, forcing the closure of runways at Manchester and Liverpool airports.
Several centimetres of snow blanketed parts of England and Wales overnight, with the Met Office reporting accumulations of up to 12 centimetres in West Yorkshire. Elevated areas above 300 metres saw snowfall reach as much as 40 centimetres.
Manchester Airport announced on social media shortly after 7:00 a.m. local time that its runways remained closed. “Operations will resume as soon as possible,” the airport said, urging passengers to contact their airlines for updates.
