Snow and ice has been causing chaos across the UK, with commuters facing delays and road closures.
Some schools shut their doors on Monday as parents and staff struggled to make the journey in the winter conditions or heating systems stopped working. Others decided to start later in the day after assessing safety conditions in the morning.
The disruption looks set to continue on Tuesday, with schools already saying they plan to close as the cold snap continues.
The Met Office has warned the wintry conditions will likely continue throughout the week, with a continuing risk of sleet and snow in some places.
