Storm Goretti has hit Rutland, bringing a mix of snow and heavy rain in the area, causing difficulties with travel and dangerous road conditions. 

Uppingham Community College has closed for the day, saying: 'The weather conditions are dangerous for driving, and the school site is unsafe this morning.' Much to the dismay of students, this isn't a day off as they will be expected to complete online work from home. 

There are warnings of local flooding which will affect travel in the area.

The following areas are affected by flooding: 

• The River Witham and tributaries from South Witham to Claypole and Claypole to Lincoln – source: South Kesteven Council
