Flight delays, bus diversions and a "serious" crash dominated Nottinghamshire headlines on a day in which heavy snowfall impacted people across the county and the rest of the East Midlands. People across parts of the county will have woken to a small carpet of snow, but the weather did not let up for the rest of Thursday, March 9.
Snow continued to fall throughout the day following a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office, which is in place until 2pm tomorrow (March 10). The heavy snowfall led to travel disruptions throughout the city, as well as East Midlands Airport temporarily holding all flights in order to clear snow off their runway.
The airport, located near to Castle Donington, explained four departing flights were delayed by snow falling onto the runway. The snow was cleared by 12.41pm, allowing operations to resume.
