Britain faces another two weeks of rain and snow

By Arthur Martin

Forecasters say the wintry weatherwhich has cast a miserable spell over Britain since December will continue for at least another two weeks.

Four walkers were hit by an avalanche in a remote part of the Lake District yesterday. The party got into difficulties as they made their way up St Sunday Crag in Patterdale, which has seen heavy snowfall for the past two days.

Two of the group were airlifted to hospital in Carlisle while the other two were treated at the scene.

Up to three inches of snow fell across Wales, central England and East Anglia. Rain and sleet caused flooding in parts of London, the South East and South West.

Met Office spokesman Dave Elliott said: 'It looks like this weather is going to stay over the weekend and into the week after - still very cold with overnight frosts and risks of further snowfall.'

Passengers flying in and out of Luton airport were severely delayed by snow in Bedfordshire which forced bosses to close the runway.

Four flights were cancelled and four diverted to other airports as staff struggled to clear the snow off the runway.

Treacherous driving conditions on many of Britain's major roads caused a series of accidents as millions of parents battled to get their children to school on their first day back after the half term break.

The wintry conditions claimed a life on Sunday as a young father was killed and his cousin seriously injured when their homemade toboggan was hit by a car.
