Nottinghamshire has been blanketed in snow as Storm Larisa batters the UK. There has been widespread travel disruption and some schools in the county have closed.
A yellow warning for snow has been issued by the Met Office, lasting until 2pm today in Nottinghamshire. The forecaster warns of travel delays as well as possible power cuts and disruption to other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
The warning states that “heavy snow” could cause “travel delays on roads stranding some vehicles and passengers”. It also says that “some rural communities could become cut off”. The Met Office has issued three amber warnings for northern England, the Midlands, North Wales and Northern Ireland, where “significant disruption” to transport and power supplies is expected.
