Christmas for some in the UK

[Jimbuna]

No more severe than other countries in recent times but the timing is bad...if there is such a thing as a good time.

Thousands have had their Christmas travel plans disrupted and around 100,000 homes are still without power as severe weather continues in the UK.

Trains have been cancelled, roads flooded and there have been long delays and cancellations at Gatwick Airport.

Southern England has been badly affected but the storm has been heading north, with Scotland now bearing the brunt.
