“Our responders are on standby ready to respond to our communities needs in this adverse weather.
“If you are out and about make sure we take extra care. It would be worth making sure you have food, drink, a shovel, warm clothing/blankets and a torch. Things can change very quickly, especially on the higher routes.”

A Derbyshire County Council spokesperson said: “There's the forecast possibility of snow for our county and our teams are out now, pre-salting secondary routes – like main residential roads – across Derbyshire.
“Our gritting teams pre-salted the primary routes at midnight in the north of the county. Please take care, drive safely and if you can, consider heading home earlier tonight as forecasts suggest snow might arrive from 5.00pm.”
