Heavy snow and strong winds across region
Several road closures have been reported in the region because of the snow, including the A628 Woodhead Pass between Flouch and Hollingworth.Drivers have been warned to think carefully before setting off as the RAC said conditions were expected to get worse before they get better.
The organisation said it had seen a 50% increase in the number of breakdowns in the worst-hit areas, including in South Yorkshire.Look North climate correspondent Paul Hudson said there had been a combination of rain and snow across the region on Thursday afternoon and conditions were expected to worsen overnight.
"The ground temperatures are actually warmer than normal at the moment because it's been such a mild winter, plus the gritting crews, let's hand it to them, they have been chucking salt on the roads," he said. "In my experience, once it gets dark and into this evening then temperatures subtly drop and there's less traffic on the roads - that's when you start to see snow settling on the roads."
