The Met Office has issued a yellow weather alert for snow and ice covering parts of North Yorkshire this week.
Temperatures have significantly dropped in the UK this month, particularly in northern areas including Yorkshire. This extreme cold weather has prompted questions about whether the region will see snow this Christmas.
The Troll of Trondheim has already arrived in the north of the UK including Scotland and even parts of Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Wolds has already been covered in snow as a result and the same with the Yorkshire coast including Filey and Bridlington.
Here, we showcase these wonderful photos sent in by our readers. The cold snap is set to continue with snow showers forecast for tomorrow (Dec 14).
