Sing a little song, of course!

Bus driver Karl Harding broke out into song, and got his passengers involved, after being stuck in Great Yarmouth en-route to Norwich for two-and-a-half hours.

Judging by the weather, let's hope he's got some more tunes up his sleeve.

It's press day here at a very snowy Franklin's Gardens in Northampton.

That's the cover on the pitch though, not a snow drift (just yet)...

This picture from the Corby Police Team gives an idea of conditions in the north of the county this lunchtime...

If you can't see any grit, apparently it's because not enough of you are driving across it to activate the salt and spread it around, say officials from Essex Highways...

Norfolk police are reporting that both the A47 and the A11 - between Thickthorn and Thetford - have reopened in both directions.

But be careful out there - there are still big delays.

The A146 in Poringland is also badly affected by a jack-knifed lorry.

Oh dear... while this isn't the only lorry to have lost its grip in the icy conditions across the East of England, when you're an Iceland lorry and you're stuck in the ice... you're going to get filmed.

The driver got into trouble in the Thickthorn area of Norwich on Wednesday morning and had to be dug out by a kindly passer-by with a handy shovel.

"At least the food won't thaw," one person wrote on social media.

They've got a point.

It was a difficult journey into work for people around the East of England today, including BBC reporter Mike Liggins.

Severe delays remain on the M1 southbound due to investigation and recovery work following a serious crash near Hemel Hempstead.

Queues are now back to junction 11a, the Dunstable bypass.

A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a lorry and a car crashed at 05:30.

The East of England Ambulance Service’s Matt Broad is in rural Suffolk working in difficult conditions.

The Deputy Director of Service Delivery has a simple message, "take extra care" as the roads are "treacherous".

He also says "only use 999 in an absolute emergency."

Praise has been given to the Trowse based company, Ben Burgess, for helping to pull a lorry out of the snow.

Norfolk Police said on Twitter, external, "It's team work like this which means everyone gets home safely.".

A team of kind-hearted volunteers have set up a pop-up soup kitchen in Norwich as the cold snap takes its toll on the city's homeless.

Marcus Pearcey, of Blofield Farm Shop, said "true community spirit" had shone through after a simple plea on social media.

"Earlier on in the week we realised that the weather was plummeting and we saw a lot of people walking around without any hot food or blankets," he said.

"I phoned a few suppliers and put the message out on Facebook and we've had a fantastic response - loads of volunteers and food."

Volunteers have also been walking around the city to help homeless people who can't get to them.

"Their blankets are wet and freezing up in the snow so they have nothing dry - we're hoping to take their blankets and dry them out for them," Mr Pearcey added.

The team will keep the pop-up soup kitchen going until the weather improves.

If you want to get about today... one suggestion is you get a sledge!

Two security guards from Colman’s have been out in Norwich helping to clear the roads.

Mark Spires and Owen Reynolds have been gritting the roads, and said they have nearly "run out."

They said they saw that the roundabout was blocked and wanted to help to "get the city moving.

"It's all about helping out the community,” they said.

The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital is asking patients with pre-arranged appointments to stay away today and keep safe at home:

Southend University Hospital has cancelled all of the outpatient appointments planned for this afternoon to "reduce the risk to patients who would have to travel in potentially unsafe conditions".

“The low temperatures and icy conditions present a hazard to patients attempting to travel to hospital so we have taken this decision to minimise risk to patients who may already be unwell," Neil Rothnie, medical director, said.

Planned surgery will not be affected, and chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments are continuing.

The hospital says those patients already on their way will be seen, but others will be contacted to enable them to book new appointments.

A multi-vehicle collision has closed the A12, southbound in Norfolk between the B1370 and the B1375 in Hopton-On-Sea.

Police and the East of England Air Ambulance are at the scene.

There are long delays in the area.
