AdvertisementSupermarkets have been forced to cancel online food deliveries after heavy snow and ice brought travel chaos to areas of Britain amid temperatures falling as low as -10C (14F) overnight. Bands of rain, sleet and snow were moving across the UK this morning, bringing dangerous driving conditions, particularly around Manchester, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire. In Congleton, Cheshire, one Tesco customer told how she received a text saying her delivery was cancelled due to 'severe weather conditions' at the very moment one of the supermarket's vans drove past her house. Age UK expressed concern about elderly people being cut off by the severe weather and urged the public to check on any vulnerable neighbours. Large parts of the country woke up to a fairytale sight yesterday after an icy blast brought snow showers.
