Storm Dave batters UK

Millions of travelers are facing hazardous conditions as the storm barrels across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England.

Forecasters expect up to 12 inches of snow in some regions, with blizzard conditions making roads nearly impassable.

British Gas and other agencies have advised households to stock up on emergency supplies, including food and batteries, in anticipation of power cuts.

While the immediate outlook is grim, meteorologists suggest a dramatic shift could bring record-breaking heat to the UK by next week.
