All over the East Midlands people went to sleep expecting to wake up to snow due to the yellow weather warning in place. What happened this morning?
There has been a weather warning for heavy snow and ice from 9pm yesterday to 11am this morning. Yesterday the warning was brought forward to 5pm with many expecting up to 4 inches of snow.
And the Met Office have introduced a new warning between 1pm tomorrow through to 9pm Friday night.

Similar to Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire are still awaiting the snow.
With a Met Office Spokesman saying “There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be effected”, many are preparing for a cold few days.
