LISTEN LIVE to Paddy In The Morning for LIVE UPDATES!
Forecasted snow showers have hit the Yorkshire Coast this morning as the Met Office Yellow Weather Warning for Snow & Ice is extended until 11:00am on Tuesday morning.
Woodlands Academy, Northstead School, Bridlington School, Filey Academy and Scarborough Sixth Form College are all closed. See School Closures list (regularly updated)
Snow is already affecting the A171 between Whitby and Guisborough and between Whitby and Scarborough. The A165 is also affected between Scarborough and Bridlington and between Bridlington and Brandesburton.
Just after 9:00am, Paddy spoke to John at Fylingdales Service Station to get the latest:
There are a number of train cancellations this morning on the Yorkshire Coast line between Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Hull.
Whilst the Yorkshire Coast saw major snowfall Friday night and throughout Saturday, some inland areas are likely to see their first snowfall of the new year today as showers spread inland.
Stephen from Egton Bridge sent this picture of a frozen over River Esk:
Stephen says he can't remember the last time he saw the river frozen over at Egton Bridge.
Drifting snow remains a hazard. This was the A171 over the weekend:
The Met Office warning reads:
Whilst not all areas will be affected, scattered snow showers will move inland from the North Sea during Monday, giving some small accumulations in places. Where snow showers are most frequent, this most likely across southeast Scotland, parts of North and East Yorkshire and Redcar and Cleveland, fresh accumulations of 5-8 cm will be possible in a few places. Lightning and gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially near windward coasts.
Snow showers should become more isolated through Monday evening, but a risk of ice will persist through Monday night into Tuesday morning as temperatures fall below freezing.
The Met Office has this advice:
Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous. Keep yourself and others safe by planning your route, giving yourself extra time for your journey. Check for road closures or delays to public transport and amend plans if necessary.
Keep yourself and your family safe when it is icy. Plan to leave the house at least five minutes earlier than normal. Not needing to rush, reduces your risk of accidents, slips, and falls.
If you need to make a journey on foot, try to use pavements along main roads which are likely to be less slippery. Similarly, if cycling, try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
If driving, make sure you have some essentials in your car in the event of any delays (e.g., warm clothing, food, water, a blanket, a torch, ice scraper/de icer, a warning triangle, high visibility vest and an in-car phone charger).
Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
