Whitby and Scarborough are very slow to drive around as snow showers continue to slide down the Yorkshire Coast.
The Met Office have updated their Yellow Warning for severe weather:
Wintry showers will affect many areas of northern Scotland and parts of northeast England, though tending to become fewer in number from later on Thursday. A few centimetres of snow are likely to accumulate at low levels with the potential for as much as 15-20 cm over higher ground. In addition, ice is likely to form on untreated surfaces, mainly where some of the showers fall as sleet close to coasts.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway have cancelled tomorrow's Moorlander Christmas Service:
Meanwhile snow has continued to fall on parts of the Yorkshire Coast throughout the afternoon.
