By Snow brings travel disruption to Lincolnshire
Heavy snow has caused traffic disruption in Lincolnshire with more than 30 reported collisions, according to a police report.
A number of vehicles have also been seen leaving the road due to adverse weather conditions.
The Met Office previously issued a yellow weather warning for snow, ice and strong winds in the East Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber.
This was subsequently upgraded to an amber warning which has now ended. Further weather warnings are expected over the next 24 hours.
As much as 15cm (6in) of snow has fallen in some areas, particularly over the Lincolnshire Wolds.
Gritting teams have been out several times, and a number of roads are now closed.
Drivers are being urged to take care and allow extra time for essential journeys.
Paul Hudson, BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire climate correspondent, said:
“The intense cold from the Baltic region is now firmly established.
“This cold air is picking up moisture as it comes across the relatively mild North Sea, forming continuous lines of snow which can often last for several hours.
“It is for this reason that the Met Office upgraded the warning to amber as such situations can cause large accumulations of snow in a short period of time.
“Although the warning expires at 14:00 GMT, further bands of snow are likely to continue to form and spread inland over the next 24 hours with the possibility further warnings may need to be issued in due course.”
