Snow and ice affects roads this morning - jack-knifed lorry blocking A15 at Folkingham

With a little more snow falling overnight and further freezing temperatures, roads across the county have turned to ice caused by compacted snow or meltwater freezing, according to police and highways officials.

According to Lincolnshire Police shortly before 7am,, the truck is said to have become stuck in snow and its trailer swung out across the whole road, blocking the A15 between Sleaford and Bourne both ways between the A52 and West Street.
