While areas such as Ashfield and Mansfield saw heavy snowfall, some parts of Nottingham and elsewhere had a very light covering
The Met Office has explained why huge differences in snowfall have been captured in parts of Nottinghamshire. The agency issued a yellow weather warning for snow that lasted for much of Friday morning and many areas of Nottinghamshire had a heavy covering.
Pictures captured in the county showed particularly heavy snow in northern areas such as Mansfield and Ashfield. There was also some disruption in Nottingham due to heavy snow in parts of the city. But in other areas of Nottingham, pictures on Friday morning show there was barely any snow at all. Pictures from the Victoria Embankment show there was very little snow there compared to other parts of the city.A Met Office spokesperson explained: "The weather system named by the French as Storm Larisa is a low pressure system which can lead to differences in the intensity of precipitation, be that rain or snow.
"With a broad weather front, you tend to see more even distribution but Storm Larisa is quite a tight, low intensity weather system and so it depends on how the bands of precipitation interact in areas locally." The Met Office said that ice would be the biggest hazard over the coming days as the snow begins to clear.
A spokesperson for the agency added that a weather system coming in from the south west will bring mild conditions to Nottinghamshire, particularly on Sunday, before colder conditions return as next week progresses. A yellow weather warning for ice has been put in place throughout Nottinghamshire, lasting throughout Friday and until 10am on Saturday.
