Leeds Bradford Airport: Live snow updates as flights delayed by hours and buses cancelled after heavy snowfall

An amber warning from the Met Office for snow has been in place since yesterday (Thursday) afternoon and lasts until midday today.

The Met Office has warned that “significant disruption” is expected on the roads, trainlines and at Leeds Bradford Airport and that power cuts are expected. On Thursday, dozens of schools sent students home early and there was disruption city-wide.

Meanwhile, a number of flights at Leeds Bradford Airport have been hit by hours of delays following the heavy snowfall.

Some made the most of the cold weather, either taking walks in the snow covered or parks or, in one brave man’s case, having a cold water swim.
