The Cat and Fiddle was one of the roads closed due to snow

Four major Derbyshire roads that were closed due to heavy snow have now reopened.

Snow fell across areas including the Peak District on Friday, the meteorological start of spring.

The A57 Snake Pass, near Glossop, the A537 Cat and Fiddle, A53 from Buxton to Leek and A6024 Holme Moss are now open, Derbyshire County Council said.

A snow plough had to be deployed to the Taddington bypass on the A6 in order to clear the snow from the highway.

The latest BBC weather forecast suggests communities across north Derbyshire can expect some snow showers until 21:00 GMT on Friday.

Sleet and light snow are also in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday for some areas.
