Шторм «Эмма» обрушил снегопады на Британские острова. В некоторых районах Великобритании выпало до 50 см снега. Отмены авиарейсы, нарушено железнодорожное сообщение. Сотни машин оказались заблокированы на автодорогах. В графстве Уилтшир около 100 автомобилей провели 18 часов в снежных заносах.
Пока известно о 9 погибших, сообщает Sky News.
Тяжелая ситуация складывается и в соседней Ирландии. Несколько тысяч домов остались без электроснабжения. Информация о жертвах пока не поступала.

A deserted Glasgow City centre just before 7am this morning. Looks like people have taken the advice not to tavel!
Was in sharp to see my night and early turn officers. Hugely impressed at the effort our people have made to get to work again today to serve our communities 👍 pic.twitter.com/GLrAuHRwBd
