The last time Britai­n saw this much heavy snow nation­wide was in March 2013LONDON: Britain was recovering Monday after heavy snow brought freezing temperatures, shutting hundreds of schools and disrupting flights for a second day. Power was restored to more than 100,000 homes, while airports tried to recover their schedules following the winter’s first major snowfall — the biggest in four years. The last time Britain saw this much heavy snow nationwide was in March 2013, and during the winter of 2010. Newspaper front pages were filled with pictures of people either enjoying the snow or stuck in gridlock on the roads. “Some flights at Heathrow will be disrupted on Monday due to crew and aircraft being out of position following yesterday’s weather,” it said.
