MP calls for army to step in amid severe weather

An MP has called for the army to be mobilised to deliver essentials to communities in Scotland cut off by extreme weather. Andrew Bowie warned people in the north and east of Scotland are without food and medical supplies in a letter to First Minister John Swinney. He called on the Scottish leader to "mobilise all available resources" to help the "critical" situation, including asking Westminster to mobilise the UK army to help reach cut-off communities.

The Tory MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine said: "The situation has now become critical. Many people are increasingly cut off, with access to essential food supplies and medical provisions becoming extremely difficult and, in some instances, impossible." He added: "Given the seriousness of the situation, I would ask that the Scottish Government urgently considers mobilising all available resources, including the armed forces, to assist with snow clearance, the delivery of essential supplies, access to remote communities and transportation to hospitals."

Icy temperatures trigger cold weather payments

The drop in temperatures has triggered cold weather payments for hundreds of thousands of households, designed to help elderly and vulnerable people with heating costs, the Government said.

Eligible households automatically receive GBP25 when temperatures are recorded or forecast to be zero degrees or below over seven consecutive days. Payments will support households in 451 postcode areas in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, including Penrith, in Cumbria, the Yorkshire Dales, Norwich, in Norfolk, Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire, and Crawley, in West Sussex. Cold weather payments have been made on five separate days, December 30, January 1, January 2, January 3 and January 6, and have been triggered twice for households in parts of Cumbria and Northumberland, which stand to receive a GBP50 payout.

Last night was the coldest night of the winter so far, with temperatures falling to as low as -12.5?C in Marham, Norfolk, while Santam Downham in Suffolk, and Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, both saw a low of -10?C.

A number of severe weather warnings remain in place, with cold air leading to the potential for further snow accumulations in Scotland, and a widespread risk of ice across much of the UK.

Large area of England and Wales given new snow warning

A large swathe of England and Wales is now covered by a snow warning which runs from 6pm on Thursday until midday on Friday.

And it states: "Storm Goretti likely to bring heavy snow leading to disruption and difficult travelling conditions." People are told to expect travel delays on roads, rail and air with conditions possibly leaving cars stranded. Some rural communities could become cut off while power cuts may occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected.

The weather system has been named Storm Goretti by Meteo France. The snow warning continues: "A deep area of low pressure will move across the south of the UK during Thursday and into Friday bringing a mixture of rain, snow and strong winds. "A spell of heavy snow is likely to develop over higher ground in south Wales later on Thursday before rain turns to snow more widely over parts of England and Wales during Thursday night.

In some areas, 5-10 cm of snow may settle with the potential for up to 20 cm in some locations, especially over higher ground. Strong winds may lead to some drifting of snow. Rain and snow will then clear eastwards during Friday.

"This system has been named by Meteo France as the strongest winds associated with Storm Goretti are most likely over northern France."

MP calls for military to be brought in to help areas cut off by extreme weather

An MP has called for the military to be mobilised to deliver essentials to communities in Scotland cut off by extreme weather. Andrew Bowie warned the "critical" situation in the north and east of the country has left some without food and medical supplies. In a letter to First Minister John Swinney, he urged him to "mobilise all available resources" to help those impacted and request military support from the UK Government.

The Tory MP for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine said: "The situation has now become critical. Many people are increasingly cut off, with access to essential food supplies and medical provisions becoming extremely difficult and, in some instances, impossible. "There is a real and growing risk that individuals may be left without basic necessities unless urgent action is taken.

While emergency services, gritters, farmers and volunteer groups are going above and beyond to support their communities, in many cases they are quite simply overwhelmed by the scale and persistence of the conditions. "Given the seriousness of the situation, I would ask that the Scottish Government urgently considers mobilising all available resources, including the armed forces, to assist with snow clearance, the delivery of essential supplies, access to remote communities and transportation to hospitals. "In addition, I would urge the Scottish Government to take further steps to inform and reassure the public, through leaflets and online resources, with clear guidance on how to keep you and your family safe and how to request help during emergencies."

Met Office advice for people facing icy conditions and how to avoid travel delays

The Met Office has given advice for people who are facing a warning for ice.

It states: "Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.

"If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated. "Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

"Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."

Snow across northern Scotland has had 'significant' impact says Swinney

Scotland's First Minister John Swinney said snow across northern Scotland has had a "significant" impact, and that a "huge effort" was going into keeping transport moving and public services open.

Ministers met with police, local authorities, utilities companies and other bodies to discuss recovery efforts and to prepare for further snow and ice warnings. "At present, there is still some travel disruption but trunk roads are open and rail, ferry and air services are working to get back to normal as quickly as possible," said Mr Swinney. "Likewise, many schools are closed today but remote learning is in place for young people while contingency plans are in place for affected health and social care services.

"There will be further snow and ice, with yellow warnings in large parts of Scotland and temperatures set to remain cold, so impacts will continue to be felt in the coming days which could include transport problems and I would encourage everyone to plan ahead, look out for each other and pay close attention to the range of weather and travel advice available." Mr Swinney also paid tribute to the "truly exceptional" efforts of farmers, volunteers and members of the public in helping clear roads, dig out cars and keep people safe, which he said showed "heartening" community spirit. He added that ministers will continue to keep the situation "under review".

Assistant chief constable Alan Waddell said: "Local resilience partnerships are continuing to meet to co-ordinate and deliver the response to disruption experienced by communities in the north and north-east of Scotland following heavy snowfall over the weekend. "We have been working closely with resilience partners across local authorities, other emergency service partners, transport partners, NHS and health and social care partnerships, and other local organisations to support communities affected by adverse weather and keep public services open where possible. "Some services may be impacted by adverse weather, and I would encourage the public to check on neighbours or relatives, if they are able to do so safely."
