The cold snap across Derbyshire has brought snow, ice and flooding – and the Met Office has issued an update on when the wintry spell of weather will finally end.

Derbyshire has faced several days of disruption brought on by the current cold snap. A combination of melting snow and heavy rain led to flooding across parts of the county at the start of the week, before further wintry conditions forced Derbyshire County Council to close a number of routes – with several still remaining shut.

Schools across the county also closed their doors on January 6 and 7 – with buses and trains being impacted at different points this week by the inclement weather.
