Yorkshire: Snow and rain prompt flood alerts as Storm Bert hits
Across the region a number of roads have been closed due to snow, including the A57 Snake Pass, the A66 between Scotch Corner and Penrith and the A628 Woodhead Pass.
On the A1M two of the three northbound lanes between J52, near Catterick Bridge and J53, near Scotch Corner, have been shut due to a collision involving a lorry, National Highways said.
Delays of up to an hour have been reported to in the area as a result.
Earlier, on the M, one lane was closed northbound between Junction 38 for Huddersfield and junction 39 for Wakefield, with images on social media showing an HGV which appeared to have slid down an embankment towards the motorway.
West Yorkshire Police has been contacted for comment.
Other images show lorries apparently struggling to navigate the A65 between Skipton and Ilkley, where snow has settled, and a fallen tree branch blocking Clapham Old Road, in Ingleton.
