Parts of Teesdale in County Durham and the Dales in North Yorkshire have begun to see snow fall, leading to icy conditions on roads.
The Met Office said it was expecting further snow showers and icy surfaces potentially causing disruption to road and rail services in affected areas.
A traffic camera on the B6277 at the Forest-in-Teesdale shows snow has settled on the ground, but roads in the area remain accessible to traffic.
'DISRUPTION STILL LIKELY'
Steve Ramsdale, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, added: "Another spell of very wet and windy weather is expected for Saturday, although Storm Dennis is currently not expected to be as severe as Ciara disruption is still likely.

"Our confidence in the forecast means we have been able to issue severe weather warnings well in advance, giving people time to prepare for potential impacts of the storm."
The warning is expected to last until midday tomorrow.
