Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) reported that some parts of the county saw 5cm of snow overnight and that gritters and snow ploughs had been out on the roads attempting to tackle the white wall.

❄ Areas of Cambridgeshire have seen 5cm of snow overnight, so our gritting teams are out and about to keep the roads safe and motorists moving.

Snow ploughs have been fitted to vehicles to clear some of the heavier snowfall.

Readers have enjoyed seeing the many cobwebs, trees and nature covered with a light blanket of snow, but the weather has also caused disruptions to travel and school.

The cold temperatures and snowfall has meant frost has develop on lots of nature, including this cobweb in St Neots. (Image: Archant)

There is currently a yellow weather warning in place for ice across some areas of Cambridgeshire, which the Met Office has extended until 11am on Tuesday (December 13).

The Met Office added that sleet and snow showers are likely to continue across the north and east, and perhaps into the southwest of the UK in the coming weeks, although mainly confined to coastal regions.
