Lincolnshire Resilience Forum, the emergency team coordinating the county's response to the heavy snow, has called for back-up from the military.

It's hoped the RAF will provide vehicles and the Army will provide drivers to assist vulnerable people requiring social care.

If you're not sick of the snow yet, there's more on the way this afternoon for East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire.

There will be some bright spells inbetween, but it'll still be very chilly, with temperatures down to -3C (26F)

Here's a look at the forecast for the next few hours:

North Lincolnshire Council says its teams have been continuously gritting and snow ploughing the roads.

Lincolnshire Police say they're looking at bringing in the Army to help reach the most vulnerable people in the county.

I'm at Police HQ in Nettleham where they've been monitoring the situation all day - Deputy Chief Constable Craig Naylor says they may be needed to help reach people with health conditions:

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.

The bad weather is causing problems for the service which delivers meals to elderly and vulnerable in North East Lincolnshire.

Care 4 All, the charity which runs the service, is appealing for 4x4 drivers to help get the meals out to those who need them.

It says the snow is making it difficult for cars to get around as blizzard conditions continue in North East Lincolnshire.

Forget about snowmen, this is how we do it when the snow falls in Bomber County!

It hasn't been a great day so far if you've been trying to get somewhere on the bus in our part of the world.

Several services across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire have been cancelled or delayed.

In Grimsby, all Stagecoach buses were forced to return to the depot earlier:

Things are looking better for East Yorkshire, though, with bus services returning to normal as the weather eases off:

I've been out in the snow at Barnetby Top and it's genuinely shin-deep out there right now:

I've seen lorries slipping and sliding all over the place by the garage.

My windscreen wipers have frozen stiff and other motorists are pulling over with similar issues.

You've been sending us more snowy pictures from across Lincolnshire.

It seems Horncastle got a particularly heavy dose of the white stuff in the last couple of hours:

Meanwhile, the wind has now picked up in Lincoln too.

You might not want the sound on for this one:

North Lindsey College in Scunthorpe is to close its doors early today because of the snow.

More than 90 schools across East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire are shut today.

Western Power Distribution says the lights - and, perhaps more importantly just now, the heaters - are back on in most properties hit by a power cut in Grantham this morning.

Earlier, over 200 properties were left without power, but fewer than 30 are still affected, the firm says.

However, about 60 properties in the Langrick Bridge area, near Boston, have now suffered a power cut of their own.

Roads in Lincolnshire have been badly affected by the snow. Here are the latest details:

The A1 is now moving slowly between Peterborough and Stamford, but it is now closed at the Colsterworth Services junction.

The B1198 is currently closed at Scampton Hill.

The A46 Lincoln Bypass is closed eastbound between the Carholme and Riseholme roundabouts because of stuck lorries.

A snowplough is on the way to attempt to clear it:

Meanwhile, the A158 is currently very difficult at Horncastle and Partney.

A16 Driby: Closed both ways closed due to snow near Bluestone Heath Road.

A153: Closed both ways between Low Toynton Road and A16 (Louth).

Lincolnshire Police have now declared a "critical incident" in response to the harsh weather we're seeing today.

They've told me there have been 68 incidents since 07:00. Luckily none have resulted in serious injury so far.

Some people have been stuck for hours on the A46 Lincoln bypass.

However, police say they need to stay in their vehicles:

Conditions on the roads aren't great wherever you are in East Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire today.

This is what it's been like on the M180 in North Lincolnshire this morning:

We're all facing difficult conditions in Lincolnshire today.

Here are a few views from around the county this morning:
