Over 30 people remain snowed in at a pub after a weekend Arctic blast brought heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. Despite challenging conditions, the group is in good spirits, keeping warm by fires, playing games and enjoying the pub's ample food and beer supplies while awaiting snow clearance.
Dozens of people have been snowed in at a pub after an Arctic blast tipped out inches of snow and sent temperatures plummeting well below zero.
More than 30 customers who visited the UK's highest pub on Saturday are still holed up there today. They trekked to Tan Hill Inn in North Yorkshire, which is 528 metres (1,732 ft) above sea level.
Despite several weather warnings for snow, 32 pubgoers attended the pub and have remained cut off ever since - along with six staff who were on duty in the world famous boozer.
Their predicament comes as the mercury plunged to -11.1C in some parts of the UK, lows which prompted the Met Office and UK Health Security Agency issued amber "danger to life" alerts ahead of the blizzards. Snow has piled up in the area, with weather maps showing more than 4mm fell over Yorkshire per hour over the weekend and into Monday.
