  15. Good Samaritan clears the snow in Sowerby Bridgepublished at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 March 2018

    We've heard lots of feelgood stories from people helping others out in the snow.

    Thanks to one of our Yorkshire Live readers for sending in this lovely tale from a supermarket in Sowerby Bridge:

    Today, on my way to the shop I saw a member of Tesco staff politely approach the lad in the high viz gear who was busily shovelling snow outside the store. When asked if he had been sent by Tesco HQ, he said, no.

    In amazement, the staff member asked "then, who sent you?" to which he answered, "Nobody" after which he went back to shovelling, single handedly.

    I watched him clearing the pathways and car park of snow. Amazing!

    The agency says there are now wind speeds of up to 90mph and that they've kept the road closed "for the safety of drivers".

    Highways England say the snow has now been cleared from the M62 but they are still spreading salt to keep it free from ice so it can open as soon as winds drop below 60 mph.

    They also revealed that a gap was cut in the barrier yesterday evening so that cars could turn around and continue their journeys.

    We’d urge drivers to avoid travelling this evening if at all possible as the diversion routes for the motorway are also very busy”

    Fire Chiefs say thin ice can be very dangerous and if anyone were to fall into freezing water it would be a life-threatening situation.

    Cold water shock is a natural human response and causes people to panic and gasp for air but then take in water instead.

    WYFRS says even good swimmers can get into difficulty.

    Quote Message

    We would like to remind the people of West Yorkshire about the perils of frozen ponds and lakes and the immediate debilitating effect on the body of falling into cold water"
