Snow and freezing rain swept parts of the UK on Sunday, causing problems for people trying to travel. Several big airports in England had to close their runways, and planes could not take off or land.

The bad weather hit the Midlands and areas up to Carlisle the hardest. But it also affected parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and other places in England. The government put out warnings. They said the weather could be dangerous.

Many flights were canceled or delayed at Manchester Airport. The airport had to close for a while in the morning. No planes could leave, and planes trying to land had to go to other airports instead.

The snow and ice also caused problems on the roads. Some roads in the north of England had to be closed, and trains were canceled or delayed in some areas.

The weather is expected to improve later on Sunday. However, the government warns that some places could still receive a lot of snow. Up to 16 inches could fall in areas 1000 feet above sea level or higher.

The Met Office thinks some small towns or villages might get cut off by the snow. They are telling people to be very careful if they have to go outside or travel somewhere.

Even though the weather will improve, it will still be very cold for the next few days. The government has put out a special alert to ensure people stay safe and warm until things get back to normal.
