The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for snow for large parts of the North-East and North Yorkshire.

Forecasters say between 3cm and 10cm could fall by the end of Thursday.

A Met Office spokesman said: "The heaviest snow is still expected to affect parts of southeast Scotland (for which a separate Amber warning is in force) and upland areas of northern England, including cross-Pennine routes, where 3 to 6cm may fall in a number of areas, with possibly as much as 10 cm locally, mainly above elevations of 200 metres."
