BBC Weather Watchers

There are loads of lovely photos coming in from our BBC Weather Watchers today.

Here are just a few of them...

First from Spalding, where Pixiecloud took this:

The coast hasn't escaped the wrath of the so-called "Beast from the East" either.

Thanks to philijo61 for this:

This is from Richard in Lincoln. It's not easy going on the roads in the city today:

Finally this, from Jons in East Barkwith.

They say Teddy and Doogels have been moved inside because of the blizzard-like conditions:

We told you earlier that all outpatient appointments at Grimsby, Goole and Scunthorpe hospitals were being cancelled today.

The Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Trust is now asking staff members if they can start early to help out:

The trust says all diagnostics appointments, including X-rays, MRI, endoscopy and CT scans, are running as planned.

They're made of stern stuff in East Lindsey...

Despite the heavy snowfall, Louth market us is still going ahead today:

The council on the other hand...

Can't say I blame them!

If you put your bins out in North East Lincolnshire this morning, they won't be collected.

The council says all waste collections have been suspended for the day due to the weather.

It says the staff are working to clear footpaths instead.

We told you earlier that all outpatient appointments at Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole Hospitals have been cancelled today.

United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust , which runs hospitals in Lincoln, Boston, Grantham and Louth, has now have followed suit.

This just in from the trust responsible for them:

It's pretty clear what the men and women of the Lincolnshire emergency services think about non-essential journeys today:

And scenes like this are why they're putting out those messages:

Yesterday officer cadets at RAF Cranwell were practicing for their passing out parade on 1 March.

Let's hope they didn't pass out from the cold!

Over a hundred closed schools results in a lot of very, VERY happy children.

These two have got the bodyboards out:

Surf's up!

Whereas these guys have opted for the more conventional approach:

Highways England has confirmed all vehicles trapped on the A1(M) between Peterborough and Stamford have been recovered and the road retreated.

It was closed in both directions in the early hours of Wednesday, but has since reopened.

More schools have been in touch to let us know that they are closed today.

Here's where you can check for school closures in your area:

Over 200 properties are without power in Grantham.

Western Power Distribution are working to fix it as quickly as possible but obviously no power is not what you want when the weather is this cold.

It's also affecting the BBC Radio Lincolnshire transmitter in that area:

The school closures just keep on coming - we understand over a hundred are now shut across Lincolnshire with most bus and coach companies cancelling transport to schools as well.

You can see a full list here, external.

All outpatient appointments at Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Goole Hospitals have been cancelled today.

The hospitals trust says it has taken the decision to cancel appointments because of the poor conditions.

More on this to follow.

The A1 between Stamford in Lincolnshire and Peterborough has reopened after the road was closed because of adverse weather conditions earlier on Wednesday.

Jack Tappin, from Highways England, said the organisation "began noticing some stranded vehicles" at about 01:00 and "some jack-knifed lorries".

A 20-mile stretch of the road was fully closed while highways officials and police attempted to recover the vehicles, he added.

"It's been a very big recovery operation across three counties - Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire," Mr Tappin said.

Although the road had been gritted in advance, a number of vehicles became stuck and people were trapped for several hours.

Highways England worked with ambulance staff and police to "ensure the safety and welfare" of people who had become stuck, Mr Tappin said, adding that no injuries had been reported.

We're all Weather Watchers today! Here are some of the great shots you've been sending in:

Now, we know you've got some great shots so get involved and upload them to Weather Watchers!

Motorists are being warned that heavy snow conditions are still affecting stretches of the A1(M), which was closed in both directions between Peterborough and Stamford in the early hours of Wednesday.

The southbound section was fully reopened earlier but conditions are still causing problems for drivers.

Lincolnshire Police have told us the A1 and the A15 have now reopened - however they're still warning drivers to take care.

Here are some lovely pictures of a snowy Cathedral this morning:

Several bus companies are not running any services today.

School bus company PC Coaches along with Sleafordian Coaches, Cropley, Fowlers, Tour Master and Haines - which operate in the Boston and Stamford - area are not operating.

All Call Connect Services are suspended until at least midday.

Brylaine Travel have cancelled all of their services until further notice.

The train service between Sleaford and Skegness is disrupted because of severe weather preventing signalers getting in to work.

Cambridgeshire Police has tweeted to say that traffic on the A1(M) is now moving slowly around the Peterborough area after the road was closed in both directions earlier because of adverse weather.
