An amber weather warning has been put in place for much of the Yorkshire coast and runs until 9pm tonight (Nov 20).
A yellow weather warning for ice also covers much of the Yorkshire coastal areas until noon tomorrow (Nov 21).
Sleet and snow showers continued to hit UK coasts overnight, with the worst-affected areas set to face disruption to travel and potential power cuts, the forecaster said.
As much as 25cm of snow could settle on high ground on the North York Moors and the surrounding area.
Motorists faced tricky conditions on Wednesday night, with North Yorkshire Police urging drivers to avoid the A171 near Whitby where a number of vehicles became stuck because of the snow.
Officers also closed the A169 between Whitby and Pickering amid heavy snow.
In North Yorkshire, 33 schools are closed, while eight are listed as fully closed in East Yorkshire.
