    The Harrogate district is bracing itself for yet more travel disruption after the Met Office today issued another weather warning for snow.

    Snow has just melted around the district but could make a comeback as early as Wednesday as today's milder weather, which reached eight degrees centigrade, makes way for much colder temperatures of around freezing.

    A Met Office yellow warning for ice is in place tonight and another yellow warning for snow has been issued from 5am on Wednesday until 9pm on Thursday.

    The Met Office said:

    "There is a chance of a period of heavy snow across this region; should it occur it is likely to cause significant travel disruption.
    "There is a small chance of travel delays on roads with some stranded vehicles and passengers, along with delayed or cancelled rail and air travel
    "There is a slight chance that some rural communities, mainly those at higher elevations, could become cut off.
    "There is a small chance that power cuts will occur and other services, such as mobile phone coverage, may be affected."


    Heavy snow caused significant disruption and chaos on the roads and for schools on Friday and Saturday.

    Snow started falling at about 8am on Friday and did not stop in some places until after sunset.

    North Yorkshire County Council's gritting teams will be out in the Harrogate district tonight and tomorrow.
