\n\t\t\tA BLANKET of snow has covered Solihull.<\/p>\n

Families took to the gardens and parks to create their very own snowmen, go head to head in snowball fights and headed up the hills to have a go at sledging.\n<\/p>\n

While others, like Ted, preferred to stay in the warm and admire the snowy scenes.<\/p>\n

Schools and colleges across the borough have been contacting parents to say whether they are open or if children can spend the day in the snow.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile waste and recycling collections were suspended in Solihull due to the conditions of the roads.<\/p>\n

\n

Solihull Council said: \u201cIf your refuse has been missed, please put your rubbish and any additional bagged rubbish out for your next scheduled collection on January 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf your recycling has not been collected, please leave your recycling bins out and we will return week commencing January 12.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The runway at Birmingham Airport reopened at 7.15am following an overnight closure.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

On X the airport said: \u201cOur runway has reopened on a reduced basis, and our teams are working to get passengers away as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst we apologise for any inconvenience Storm Goretti has caused, the safety of our colleagues and customers is our number one priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cPassengers due to travel are advised to check the status of their flight with their airline.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
