A sopkesman for Derbyshire County Council said: “With up to 10cm expected in places this morning, roads are being re-covered as fast as we can clear them as snow continues to fall thick and fast.
“The worst of the weather is forecast to continue until around 8am with a rapid thaw expected later this afternoon, so motorists may want to consider delaying their journey until later if possible.
“We haven’t closed any roads but it’s likely that some roads in the High Peak will quickly become impassable for a time.”
