THE easing weather has meant all Somerset schools are open today (Tuesday).
On Monday, dozens of schools closed after heavy snow hit the county again, just weeks after the Beast From The East struck the UK.
But today, conditions have improved sufficiently to allow schools to re-open to pupils.
The Met Office says temperatures could reach 9C today, dropping to around -3C overnight.
All services are now back to normal - with the exception of the 99. Thank you for your patience throughout this time. -CM
