Weather warnings are in place for snow and ice tonight in the Harrogate district as temperatures are set to plunge to minus four degrees centigrade.
The Met Office warning says some disruption to travel is possible due to icy stretches and snow falling.
North Yorkshire County Council gritters have been out but untreated roads could be hazardous.
The council warned in a tweet today the lockdown could make conditions worse;
“Although we’re gritting roads whenever needed they might still be icy. Salt needs traffic to activate it – less traffic during lockdown means gritting isn’t as effective and icy conditions may last longer than you would expect.”
A yellow warnings is in place from 5pm today until midnight tomorrow. Yellow warnings are less severe than amber and red warnings.
