The weather warning is in place across the East Midlands, warning of heavy snow likely leading to disruption and dangerous travelling conditions, caused by Storm Goretti.

Rain associated with Storm Goretti will turn to snow on Thursday morning, says the Met Office, with 10-15cm of snow likely across the area.
