One day into meteorological winter<\/a> and already global warming has gone missing. As \u2018cold health alerts\u2019 are activated, renewable energy has all but dried up leaving gas to take the strain of electricity generation. Even coal is outperforming wind power.
Update: <\/strong>Flights resume at Glasgow Airport<\/a> [announced at 1020 am].<\/em>

Weather warnings for snow and ice are in place across swathes of the UK as temperatures plummeted below freezing overnight, reports Sky.com<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forecasters have warned the wintry conditions could affect some road and rail journeys with icy surfaces posing the risk of injury from slips and falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glasgow Airport has suspended flights due to heavy snow, with passengers urged to check with their airline for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yellow warnings have been issued by the Met Office for the northern coast and southwest of Scotland, as well as southwest and the eastern coast of England throughout Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amber cold health alerts are also in place for five regions: the East Midlands, West Midlands, North West, North East and Yorkshire and the Humber until 5 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the impact of the cold weather is \u201clikely to be felt across the whole health service for an extended period of time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures dipped as low as -10C (14F) in parts overnight, with Tulloch Bridge and Eskdalemuir in Scotland recording -8C (18F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The freeze is expected to continue over the weekend, with several sporting events cancelled due to snow and icy conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
