London 10 Dec (ANA) - More snow is hitting the UK with an amber weather warning issued across large parts of the country. The deepest snowfall in the UK on Sunday has been in Sennybridge, near Brecon in Wales, where up to 30cm (12in) of snow has been recorded. Warnings have also been extended for snow and high winds of 80mph (130km/h) are possible in southern England. A ferry with 300 people on board ran aground in high winds at Calais, in northern France. The P&O vessel, the Pride of Kent, ran aground while leaving the port for Dover. There were no injuries and the ship was refloated within two hours, although passengers are being transferred to another ship. Electricity supplier SSE says up to 24,000 homes in Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire are without power. A spokesman for the utility firm said snow and wind had resulted in tree branches coming into contact with overhead network. Across the South West of England and Wales, about 2,900 customers have been affected by power cuts. Western Power Distribution said it was hoping that number will decrease quickly as the weather eases across the region. Delays to road, rail and air travel in the UK are expected for most of the day, with some airport runways blocked. BBC Weather says Devon and Cornwall have been battered with gusts of more than 70mph, reaching 90mph in the English Channel.(ANA)
