Met Office issues red severe weather warning as heavy snow hits Britain.
Heavy snow and freezing temperatures have blighted Britain's roads, railways and airports with delays and cancellations as the “Beast from the East” tightens its grip on the UK.
The highest level of weather warning has been issued for Scotland and Ireland as forecasters warn of "blizzard-like" conditions.
Hundreds of schools across Britain were closed for a second day.
ScotRail has urged commuters in the red warning area to head home now.
The train operator tweeted: "As a result of the Met Office warning, services in the red area will begin to wind down this afternoon in the best interests of our customers and staff. Safety is central to this decision.
"In areas where the red weather warning applies, customers should head for home now. There will be no train services in the red weather warning area tonight, or first thing tomorrow morning."
