General community for news/discussion in the UK.

More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
An amber warning for heavy snow is in place in Scotland after overnight temperatures fell well below freezing across the UK.
The Met Office said frequent snow showers on Thursday will affect the Northern Isles and northwest Scotland and could disrupt travel, power, and communications.
The bitter conditions and significant snowfall forced schools to remain closed in parts of Scotland on Wednesday.
In Northern Ireland, non-major roads will not be gritted due to a strike, and motorists are being urged to take care given the icy weather.
The cold spell has resulted in automatic £25 payments for households in receipt of certain benefits being triggered in more than 220 postcodes.
