Will there be any more snow in Nottinghamshire this week? Full forecast as Met Office issues warnings
A yellow cold health alert remains in place for the East Midlands
Temperatures in Nottinghamshire are once again expected to plummet over the coming days as cold Arctic air from the north sweeps across the East Midlands.
The Met Office has issued amber snow warnings for parts of the north east, with up to 25cm expected in areas such as Scarborough.
Yellow warnings for ice remain in place for a large stretch of the east coast, from Yorkshire to East Anglia.
Temperatures will remain well below average until Friday (November 21) before more milder conditions return over the weekend.
Met Office Chief Forecaster Neil Armstrong said: “Cold Arctic air from the north is firmly in charge of the UK’s weather, bringing the first notable cold snap of this autumn and giving an early taste of winter weather.
“As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday.

“Wintry showers will affect areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind, in particular Northern Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest England, northeast England, East Anglia and across the northern half of Scotland.
“Whilst not all places will see lying snow, where showers are most frequent accumulations of 2-5 cm will be possible.
“On higher ground in Scotland, 15-20 cm could accumulate, and potentially as much as 15-25 cm over the North York Moors and Yorkshire Wolds.”
