UK: Severe Weather Persists Across Country, Travel Chaos Continues

Warnings for snow, ice, and rain are in place across parts of the UK on Monday, January 6, after snow and freezing rain swept across the country over the weekend. Parts of England are being warned of potential flooding due to rain and melting snow caused by milder temperatures. This video was shot in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, by Demi Lewis, who was traveling with her partner Nathan Christopher Kelemen. According to Nathan, they were heading home from Manchester Airport when they were diverted due to the weather. They spun out multiple times, slid backwards down hills twice, and genuinely feared they would be stranded until the snow cleared. Fortunately, they were driving a four-wheel-drive Kia Sportage, which helped them through the tough conditions, though they passed many stranded people along the way. The trip, which should have taken 1 hour and 20 minutes, took almost 4 hours due to the conditions, Nathan added.
