Up to 100 vehicles were stranded in heavy snow on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, southwest England on Friday as blizzards closed a major road, Reuters reported. Devon and Cornwall police said they had declared a major incident and urged drivers to stay with their vehicles until help arrived. The vehicles, including coaches, were stuck on the A30 between Kennards House and Bodmin. Mike Collenzo, manager of the nearby Jamaica Inn, said he had filled 17 of his rooms with drivers who had abandoned their cars for the night. "I've never seen anything like this up here," he told BBC television. "Speaking to a few older locals, they've said it's not since the 60s they've seen weather like this." Forecasters said the heavy snowfalls blanketing Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and southwest England could turn to ice overnight. Blizzards and deep snow disrupted transport across many parts of Britain on Friday, shutting schools in Wales and bringing power cuts to northern Scotland. --More 2031 Local Time 1731 GMT
