This is how it’s looking in the Craven area this morning (Tuesday).

The picture shows the A59 at Kex Gill where heavy snow is making driving dangerous. North Yorkshire Police are warning motorists that affected roads are becoming icy, and urge everyone to slow down.

Further afield, snow over the Pennines is causing slow traffic on the M62. Take care people.
