SNOW fell early today on the Yorkshire coast as an Arctic blast swept the country.

A county council webcam at Reighton, near Filey, showed snow at the side of a roundabout and on a passing car this morning.

Forecasters say there may be further snow showers on the North York Moors and on the coast, but they expect it to remain sunny and dry in York today and tomorrow.

However, forecasters think there will be some snow in York on Thursday.

The Met Office is predicting light snow in the afternoon before it turns to sleet or rain, but BBC Weather, in association with MeteoGroup, is predicting light snow in the early morning before turning to sleet later, with snow falling through the day only on slightly higher ground, for example in Harrogate.
