The A171 is blocked and the A169 is impassable as the Met office warn higher ground could see 15-20cm of snow.
That warning, which covers much of the Yorkshire Coast, reads:
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.
