We could be in for at least FIVE DAYS of snow, starting from about 9am tomorrow.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice across the region for the next four days.

As well as snow, temperatures could feel bitter. Tomorrow in York, they won't get above 2 degrees - and with the wind chill factor, it could feel as cold as -5 even at mid-day, according to the Met Office.

More snow is forecast for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday - and possibly even Friday. Temperatures will mostly remain at or just below zero - and could feel a lot colder than that.

Met Office weather expert Steven Keates told the BBC that there would be 'many similarities' with 2018's 'Beast from the East' - although the temperatures will not be quite as cold or the weather quite as extreme.

Nevertheless, the Met Office has warned that there could be travel delays on roads, and that vehicles could get stranded.

There may also be power cuts and mobile phone failures, it says. Some rural communities could be cut off.

It has urged pedestrians and cyclists also to take care on icy footpaths.
