Engineers are still working to restore power to homes in Suffolk - after snow brought a flurry of fresh disruption to supplies this afternoon.
Power staff worked through blizzards this morning to restore electricity supplies to hundreds of people across the county.
UK Power Networks was left dealing with 12 power cuts in West, East and Mid Suffolk after Storm Darcy arrived - with heavy snow showers and strong north-easterly winds causing havoc.
By late morning most people had had their power restored.
These included power cuts in Framlingham, Earl Soham and Badingham, parts of Wickham Market, Leiston, Grundisburgh and Melton, Orford, Waldringfield, and Lackford where 359 people were without power in more than 18 postcode areas

A power cut knocked out supplies to almost 300 homes on the Shotley Peninsula.
UK Power Networks, which looks after power supply in the area, said that it had been called on Monday morning following reports of a power cut affecting a large number of homes.
At its height, more than 400 homes had lost power but it has since been able to reconnect some homes.
The power cut is thought to have been caused by a high voltage overhead electricity line fault.
