Heavy snowfall blankets Stroud

Which schools are closed today because of the snow? Here's the full list...

Winter has well and truly arrived as snow has blanketed the entire country.

And with yellow warnings of ice, fog and snow are currently in place for much of the UK, parts of the country will see further snowfall.

According to the Met Office, the mercury is expected to stay around 0C today, meaning this snow will soon turn into ice.

But while many of us are looking forward to making snowmen, some people are now unable to get to work.

For the safety of staff and pupils, many schools will be closed, teaching their lessons online instead.
