Traffic chiefs and police have appealed to drivers to take extra care on the roads tonight after snow hit the county.
Tailbacks formed and traffic was very slow moving across Leicestershire and Rutland as snow fell in the early evening.
At one point, there was a long tailback on the A50 at the junction 22 with the M1 at Markfield.
Some traffic appeared to be having trouble getting onto the M1 northbound at that junction.
A spokesman for Area Traffic control said: "There have been delays because of the snow.
"We would urge people to drive to suit the weather.
"People should slow down and leave longer for each journey in the wintry conditions. If you don't need to go out, don't."
A police spokesman said: "We would echo the advice of Area Traffic Control and ask drivers to slow down and drive more carefully and be patient."
