Schools across St Albans and Harpenden have been closed today due to severe weather and unsafe travelling conditions this morning.

This comes after a blanketing of snow enveloped the district overnight, with staff and parents unwilling to navigate the icy roads.

The Met Office predict snowfall until 3pm today and temperatures reading between a chilly 0C and 1C.
