Arctic weather causing chaos in Britain

ARCTIC weather conditions are expected to continue to cause chaos across Britain over the weekend.

Motorists who defied police warnings to stay at home faced treacherous roads yesterday, with ice-covered routes littered with abandoned cars and lorries.

And thousands of motorists, remained stuck in huge traffic jams yesterday evening in the East Midlands and south-east England, while airports and parts of the rail network were also severely affected.
