The A141 is closed near RAF Wyton between Huntingdon and Warboys, according to police - with heavy delays reported.

It's because of a car fire after a two-vehicle collision. The road is open - but traffic is very slow.

Take care out there.

It's thieves too.

East Midlands Ambulance Service says a satellite navigation system and a mobile data terminal screen, used to send information to clinicians about the location and condition of patients, were both stolen from an ambulance parked outside a home in Corby in the early hours.

The crew returned to the ambulance to take the patient to hospital only to find all the cupboards in the ambulance open and the electrical equipment missing.

Lee Brentnall, ambulance operations manager for Northamptonshire, said: "This senseless act means that the ambulance had to be taken off the road to have the equipment replaced, and can’t respond to emergencies. Whoever did this clearly didn't think of the impact that their actions would have on their community.

"While every effort has been made to replace the equipment as soon as possible, the incident will have an obvious impact on our ability to respond to patients.

"I would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious or knows who could be responsible, to please call on 101 and quote incident 1800009472."

Northamptonshire and other parts of the East Midlands have also been hit by heavy snow today.

The region's ambulance service has just put out a message saying that due to the severe weather it has cancelled all non-emergency patient transport journeys which are not for vital treatment.

It says: "Patients who have appointments for vital treatment such as chemotherapy and dialysis, and patients leaving hospital, will be prioritised.

"If a loved one is being discharged from hospital today or tomorrow morning, please support us by collecting them if possible.

"Our Booking Line is available on 0300 300 34 34 to answer any questions. The line is currently very busy but we'll answer your call as soon as we can."

Sledges have been the preferred mode of transport on the Norfolk coast today...

Youngsters have been making the most of the white stuff, with the snowmen getting a sea view in Sheringham...

And the town's Beeston Bump has been transformed into a ski slope...

It's most certainly time to get the snowboards and sledges out in Essex.

These shots were taken in Spring Lake Park...

Part of the A14 was blocked after a four-vehicle crash.

Emergency services were called at 13:07 to the A14 at Rougham.

Suffolk Police said there were no serious injuries.

The road has reopened.

The county's gritters will be out in force in the next few minutes - and then again in the wee small hours:

After drivers were stuck for hours, the motorway has finally been cleared...

Police in Essex currently have 17 traffic cars out in the county assisting motorists in need during the snowy conditions, but the force has also received extra 4x4 cars from the county council and other local authorities to bolster its fleet of 35 off-road vehicles.

That said, officers probably don't want to use them all at once and are urging people to "also take some responsibility by only making a journey when necessary".

"If you have to get into a vehicle, please expect the unexpected because the snowfall has been sporadic in Essex with some places experiencing heavy downpours while other places having very little," says Adam Pipe, Essex Police’s casualty reduction manager.

"Many motorists have already experienced problems on our roads today and in some cases have had to abandon their vehicles."

The force has issued some safe driving advice, external on its website on Wednesday, as the cold snap looks set to continue for several days.

The Hertfordshire Highways service says its 58 gritting vehicles are "ready for action", with more snow forecast in the coming days.

A Met Office yellow weather warning remains in place for Essex until midnight on Wednesday, so wrap up warm as it means heavy snow showers are expected to continue.

This means there's likely to be continued disruption on the roads and rails.

It has been busy sending the gritters out six times in the past 48 hours across Essex, but the county council says it can't manage to cover every single road.

With the freezing temperatures set to continue, and an increased risk of ice as the weekend approaches, you can track the gritters (below) to see whether roads near you will be treated.

It looks like it's going to switch tomorrow, with the west side of the region getting more snow than the east.

So much for spring, hey...

A short drive up the road, and Northampton Town has shared this picture of their Sixfields stadium covered in snow.

Again... the pitch covers are certainly paying for themselves today.

The Cobblers are fortunately not due to play a match at the ground again until 17 March.
