    I was watching closely yesterday to see what would happen and whether we would get any snow.

    There was some concern the weather computers weren't agreeing with each other, and that the snow might not reach us. But it certainly did!

    It was - 6C in some areas last night and it will be an icy start today, so there will still be some snow around, but as temperatures rise this afternoon there might be some snow melt.

    A local weather expert said there had been a lot more snow in Leicestershire and Rutland than had originally been expected, and it was the heaviest in north Leicestershire since February 2012.

    Phil Moorish tweeted: "By the end of Sunday I had recorded 10cm in Mountsorrel with 14cm in Loughborough and 15cm in Melton and Oakham.

    "These amounts are much more than I was expecting as the weather front bringing the snow had much more energy than originally forecast and then it stalled!"
