Some schools remain closed today (January 10), five days since heavy snow caused havoc across the county.
Pendle, Hyndburn and Rossendale saw closures with some schools shut for a fifth day in a row.
The main reason given was that ice and snow had compacted around the school premises and this had caused dangerous conditions on footpaths and in the playgrounds. Others had been forced to shut due to no heating.
The early morning temperature today was minus 7C in many part and those going on the school run were being asked to be extra careful on the footpaths and roads.
Here is a list of closures from across our area.
