A number of Wigan schools will remain closed today as the snow and ice continue to cause disruption.

Arctic conditions have made it unsafe for some schools to open their doors and snow, ice and fog yellow weather warnings are in force across the UK.

Rush-hour traffic was crawling and brought to a standstill in some places as snow covered the roads.
