DRIVERS were this morning experiencing huge delays on a major link road across Hampshire due to the Arctic weather.
The A31 ground to a halt between Bourrnemouth and Southampton in both directions after morning motorists were hit with treacherous conditions brought on by overnight snow.
It has reportedly taken some drivers three hours to get from Bournemouth to the start of the M27 at Cadnam, and tailbacks were said to be stretching for miles on both carriageways.
A spokesman for Hampshire Police said there had been a number of broken down vehicles along the road but no major incidents.
A lorry and a car both broke down on the westbound A31 at Ringwood, while a group of children were spotted throwing snowballs at cars from a bridge near the town.
