The Met Office has warned motorists should continue to take care as freezing temperatures.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for Yorkshire this weekend with snow and ice likely, especially on higher ground.

The Met Office says some roads and railway lines are likely to be affected, and there could be icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.

The icy conditions also put an extra strain on hospitals, as more than 100 people attended the emergency department at the Northern General Hospital today with breaks and fractures.
