Snow and ice in Yorkshire: Yellow weather warning issued for snow and ice in Leeds, York, Bradford, Sheffield, Harrogate and Halifax
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice this week across areas in Yorkshire - here is everything you need to know.
Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow are likely to result in icy surfaces and some travel disruption, according to the weather service.
The rain will initially fall as snow over higher hills, before the snow begins to fall to lower levels through Thursday (February 12) evening.
Any settling snow will mainly be confined to high ground, above 200 metres - 2cm to 5cm is possible - and above 300 metres, a few locations may see as much as 10cm.
The rain and snow is expected to clear south during the early hours of Friday (February 13) with temperatures expected to fall quickly as skies clear, leading to ice on untreated surfaces.
A yellow weather warning will be enforced from 7pm Thursday to 12pm on Friday and areas in Yorkshire will be affected including Leeds, York, Sheffield, Bradford, Harrogate and Halifax.
Residents should expect some injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces, possible icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths and some roads and railways are likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services.
What should I do if it is snowing and icy where I live?
The Met Office has issued advice for people living in the areas affected by the upcoming snow and ice.
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 you are cycling try and stick to main roads which are more likely to have been treated.
Snowy, wintry weather can cause delays and make driving conditions dangerous, so 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.
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.
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.
