There was a crisp, cold start to today, with a widespread frost and icy patches, with a maximum temperature of 3 °C.

Tonight we can expect a mainly clear evening, allowing temperatures to fall rapidly below freezing. It will turn cloudier later, with a light scattering of rain, sleet and snow showers but a risk of ice. Minimum temperature -4 °C.

Tomorrow will be cold again across Yorkshire and the Humber with a widespread frost and possible freezing fog.York Press: Picture: Louise Jakobsen, Press Camera Club
