Chesterfield has seen the heaviest snowfall in years overnight, possibly ever in the town.

The Chesterfield Post will give you updates as we get them about travel, transport and schools.

This is the current list of schools open or closed - however, we have no definite info for most, we assume these are open but please check with your school to make sure. We will update as we get the info.

If you have any more to add to the list, go to our Facebook page and add your school - or to our Community Forum and add to the list under "Local News" and we'll add it here too.

And remember kids - never eat yellow snow!
