Heavy snowfall in eastern Japan brings disruption to Road
Heavy snowfall in eastern Japan brings disruption to road, rail and air transport
Many roads around Tokyo were closed while the snow was cleared and the authorities have urged commuters to exercise caution while travelling in to work.
Temperatures are expected to drop further to around minus 8C (17.6F) on Wednesday night with the possibility of more light snow flurries.
After large parts of England were hit by snow this morning a second heavier band is moving south and east. The Met Office issued an amber weather warning for snow focused on the East Midlands, eastern England, the North East and Yorkshire, warning the public to be prepared for the risk of disruption.
Rail operator Greater Anglia said routes between London Liverpool Street and Cambridge, Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich would be subject to a 60mph speed limit because of the snow. Some parts of Norfolk and Lincolnshire could get a second snowfall as the weather system spins out over the North Sea overnight and back towards land again, Mr Lee added.
The rest of the country should have a dry but chilly day tomorrow. Temperatures in Scotland, the North East and Eastern England will struggle to rise above zero, while London will get to around 3C (37F). The warmest place in the country will be Cornwall, which will get to around 8C (46F)
Temperatures are expected to drop further to around minus 8C (17.6F) on Wednesday night with the possibility of more light snow flurries.
Motorists were warned by the Highways Agency to take extra care tonight and into the early hours on roads made slippery by snow and sleet in freezing temperatures.
