If your flight's been delayed or cancelled by snow today, here's what you're entitled to:
Manchester Airport, whose runway is temporarily closed due to the snow, is advising travellers to allow plenty of time for their journey to the airport. The road networks surrounding the airport are very busy and customers are advised to take extra care on the roads.
Junction 5-6 of the M56 and spur roads to Manchester Airport are currently closed, according to North West Motorway Police.
The Met Office has issued advice for cycling in ice and snow:
"Snow and ice will severely impact your travel plans including your commute to and from work and getting around your community and local area. Alternative travel plans may provide a safer form of travel.
"Cycling accidents on ice can often result in physical injury, so learning to read the weather signs and identify potential danger spots on your journey is essential."
Cycling charity Sustrans recommends sticking to busier main roads when cycling in cold conditions: "Quiet roads that are good to ride on in fair weather are more prone to freezing, particularly early in the morning and bends can be very difficult if icy.
"Sometimes a gritted busier road is better than an icy quiet road."
