Frequent heavy snow showers, moving in from the Yorkshire Coast, is bringing disruption to travel, with the Met Office updating warnings.
Snow began falling in Scarborough and Whitby on Friday afternoon with the A169, A171 and A174 around Whitby proving treacherous.
The Esk Valley has been hit hard, with the North York Moors expected to get the heaviest snowfall.
The Met Office released the following statement:
'Snow showers are expected to spread further inland in the early hours of Saturday, becoming frequent and perhaps heavy at times.
'Around 1-3 cm of snow is likely to accumulate quite widely, with 5-8 cm possible in places, this most likely across the North York Moors.
'The snow showers will gradually become lighter and less frequent during Saturday evening, and move offshore overnight.
'Icy patches will also form, particularly during Saturday evening where roads have potentially been left wet from partially thawed snow during the daytime.'
They've now added Sunday for ice and Monday and Tuesday (until 11am) for snow and ice, to the warning, stating:
'Ice is expected to affect untreated surfaces on Saturday night into Sunday morning. This is following snow showers on Saturday, with ice forming where snow has partially thawed and re-frozen.
'Snow showers are expected to move inland from the North Sea in the early hours of Monday, becoming frequent and perhaps heavy at times, before easing by early afternoon. Around 1-3 cm of snow is likely to accumulate quite widely, with 5-8 cm possible in places, this most likely across the North York Moors. Icy patches are also likely to form.
'Scattered snow showers and icy patches have the potential to cause disruption to travel in places on Monday into Tuesday morning.'
