Over 20 schools in Lincolnshire have closed on Wednesday after snowy and icy weather conditions across the county this week.
The Met Office previously issued a yellow warning for snow that is due to run until 11.59pm on February 10.
Snow showers and icy conditions continue to cause some travel disruption in places, with reports of vehicles sliding off roads.
There are some icy roads out there again this morning, as we are now starting to get reports of vehicles sliding off roads. Please take care and drive to the conditions on all roads, as even those that have been gritted may still have icy patches. pic.twitter.com/x0NtgPJlVo
