Snow has fallen across Derbyshire.

Some roads have been completely blocked, with police advising against all but essential travel.

Routes including the Snake Pass and Woodhead Pass, and many roads in the Buxton area, are impassable.

Routes in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales are being described as 'treacherous'.

Overnight, police received a number of reports of drivers becoming stranded, as well as fallen trees blocking roads after the high winds.

Two coaches have become stranded on the A61 Dronfield Bypass and several crashes have been reported in the north of the county.

Derbyshire County Council’s highways department is working to clear roads.
