Drivers in North Yorkshire have been warned to take extra care because of wintry conditions affecting the roads. The A169 between Whitby and Pickering in the North York Moors was shut overnight, but has since re-opened. The council said gritters and ploughs had been working on the route, which had been closed due to snow and ice.
