Incredible photos – The worst snow storms in 26 years have caused havoc on the Channel Islands this week, leaving drifts up to 8-foot (2.44 m) deep.

The airport on Guernsey had to be shut for two days while more than 15,000 tons of snow were removed from the runway.

The islands caught the same storms that crippled northern France, where shoulder-deep drifts led to Channel Tunnel trains being cancelled and long queues on the M20 as lorries waited for delayed ferries.

Forecasters are calling for another “cold snap” next week.

See great photos:
