Schools closed after snowfall across Yorkshire

Snow has fallen across parts of Yorkshire, causing disruption to travel and schools in some areas.

A yellow warning for snow and ice is in place until 11:00 GMT on Tuesday for parts of North Yorkshire, including York, Selby, Scarborough and Ripon.

A further warning for West Yorkshire will come into force at midnight until 11:00 on Tuesday, which will affect Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield.

North Yorkshire Council has confirmed 11 schools are due to be shut on Tuesday, eight of which are in Scarborough.

It said seven had been closed on Monday, on the coast and in the North York Moors.

As of 18:00, traffic was moving slowly on the A171 for just over a mile towards Hawsker following reports of stuck vehicles blocking the road.

Waste collections also did not go ahead over the weekend in Scarborough and Whitby and residents have been told to leave their bins out.

Household waste recycling centres at Harrogate West, Ripon and Leyburn are currently closed, according to the council.

BBC Weather Watchers also captured a snow-dusted heritage railway in Bradford and an icy lake in Wakefield.

However, safety warnings were issued after children were spotted playing on another frozen lake in York at the weekend.

A spokesperson for the Friends of Rowntree Park, a volunteer charity, said: "The ice may appear solid, but there are weak patches and it can give way without warning."

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service echoed concerns about playing on ice, noting the risk of hypothermia.

The snow did also bring opportunities for less risky activities, with a man seen sledding down a hill in Robin Hood's Bay.
