Emergency services, including East Midlands Ambulance Service, are asking you to only to call them if the situation is life-threatening. Our travel provider Inrix is reporting that a long stretch of the A1 southbound - from Fernwood to Marston - is closed this morning due to flooding.

Serious flooding swamped parts of England on Tuesday and snow forced three airports to close temporarily as wet and icy weather combined to extend travel chaos that has plagued the U.K. since the start of the year.

Some parts of the region saw nearly as much rainfall in 36 hours as would be expected in almost a month at this time of year
