I'm on reporting duty in Sheffield where a council spokesperson has said that abandoned vehicles are the biggest problem at the moment.

It's not just been parts of Yorkshire that have been hit by the ice and snow, it's been a pretty poor day across much of the north of England and in Scotland.

Flights were suspended for some time at Manchester Airport, hazardous driving conditions caused several accidents and hundreds of schools were closed.

Here are the facts so far about today's snowy weather in South Yorkshire

• About 33cms (13ins) of snow has fallen in Sheffield

• Over 100 schools in South Yorkshire were closed for the day

• Major roads were closed and there was gridlock on some routes during the morning

• Dozens of rail services were affected

• At one point a third of First Buses in Sheffield were off the road

Snow has caused disruption and travel delays in Yorkshire but from above the white-out has a picturesque quality.

During the morning rush hour many commuters found themselves stranded in queue, schools were shut and some trans-Pennine trains were cancelled due to snow, sleet and hail showers.

These views were captured by a helicopter high above the congestion.

According to Sheffield Council, since the start of the winter its gritting teams have covered over 37,000 miles of road across the district.

Jayne Dunn, cabinet member for environment, recycling and streetscene, says: "That's just over the equivalent of travelling once around the world.

"Since 18:00 last night and throughout the day today the team have been working around the clock to help keep drivers on the move," she adds.

All sporting fixtures and training sessions on council-owned pitches for this weekend are cancelled, Bradford Council has announced, external. This includes games on school pitches and at Rawdon Meadows.

The council says that due to recent snowfall it's been impossible to carry out any maintenance or line marking.

"Many of the pitches are covered in snow and if a thaw occurs the pitches will become very wet and would suffer substantial damage if sporting events were played on them."

I've been in Barnsley where the traffic is moving compared to this morning on the main routes.

Earlier, I was just a few miles up the road at the entrance to the A628 Woodhead Pass (pictured) and that was closed overnight and this morning. That route has now reopened.

It's absolutely treacherous on those higher routes and it's causing a lot of disruption. There must be about 15cm of snow up there.
