The latest snow maps issued from the Met Office show a white and grey snow cloud over most of Yorkshire from the early hours of Thursday leading until Friday.
Up to 4mm of snow could cover the region every hours, causing treacherous conditions as the wintry weather continues. The darker the grey cloud on the snow map means the more mm of snow - white means there will be 0.5mm or less, light grey means 0.5mm-4mm and dark grey means 4mm and more.
The snow cloud moves from the east to the west of the country as the day goes on, by the late afternoon the snow cloud appears to only be covering West and South Yorkshire, mainly Bradford, Huddersfield and Sheffield. At this time York and Leeds will start to see more sleet.
Snowfall will continue throughout the night, clearing my around 8am on Friday morning. You can see the hour-by-hour forecast here.
