Forecasters warn Britain faces MORE snow and black ice

Workers travelling home across Britain tonight face dangerous black ice on the roads as the severe weather shows no signs of ending - after more than a million children, parents and workers enjoyed a 'snowday' at home today.

At least 2,000 schools across the country serving 800,000-plus children were shut after 'doomsday' snow caused chaos with some areas getting up to ten inches overnight on the coldest night in the UK for seven years. 

Rail commuters living in South East London and Kent were told to 'travel earlier or later to avoid the busiest trains' after Southeastern implemented its 'winter weather timetable', resulting in fewer services during rush hour. 

Weather warnings have been issued running into tomorrow, with another 4in (10cm) of snow possible in northern Scotland and 1.6in (4cm) over the Yorkshire Moors. An ice warning is also in place for Scotland on Monday. 

Devon and Cornwall were worst hit by the overnight 'snowbomb' but schools appear to be closed across Britain with some critics suggesting today: 'We see a snowflake and we become snowflakes'.

But commuters posted photos of empty roads and station platforms as it appears many chose to work from home or take the day off - with the sarcastic hashtag #Snowmageddon trending with ironic images of fake carnage.
