Forecasters have issued a warning for snow that covers York and Selby.
The yellow weather warning for snow and ice was issued by the Met Office.
It’s for all day on Monday (5 January) and has now been extended to Tuesday until 11am.
The warning covers much of North Yorkshire, also including Malton, Ripon, Pickering and the coast.
The Met Office says that some roads and railways likely to be affected with longer journey times by road, bus and train services. There’ll probably be some icy patches on some untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths.
There are snow warnings already in place for the North York Moors and North Yorkshire coast all weekend.
Heavy snow falls caused ‘treacherous’ driving conditions in these areas last night.
Met Office chief meteorologist Rebekah Hicks said: “Arctic air and brisk northerly winds are gripping the UK as we start the new year.
“Snow and ice warnings remain in force for many areas, with the risk of heavy snow showers, especially across northern Scotland and over higher ground elsewhere, though many inland areas will stay largely sunny and clear.
“Bitterly cold conditions will persist through the weekend and into next week, with daytime temperatures struggling to rise above freezing for some, and overnight lows dipping to minus double figures in places.
“We urge people to stay #WeatherAware, keep up to date with the forecasts and plan ahead as icy roads and slippery surfaces are likely.”
