Do you know what, Yorkshire's city centres are looking fine so far this afternoon as we approach what would be the traditional rush hour.
However, on the motorways things aren't looking as great, this is the M62 westbound and it's like this for about 11 miles from J24.

We'll keep you posted.

There are, of course, plenty of people who love the snow in Yorkshire and we've also seen quite a few animals enjoying themselves today.
But none more so than these fellas:
Image source, Yorkshire Wildlife ParkYou'd be forgiven for suddenly having David Attenborough entering your mind now, telling you something beautifully poetic about the ice plains of the arctic.
But forget that, these are proper Yorkshire polar bears, seemingly enjoying the snow!
Image source, Yorkshire Wildlife ParkYorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster tweeted these pictures earlier today saying "At least these guys appreciate the snow and ice!"
We've shown you a lot of pictures of struggling cars and people trying their best to make their way through the snow.
So it's nice to see some people enjoying it!

She said being the first to see the view from the tower is one of the highlights of her job.

We've all made it to the afternoon, despite the snow trying its best to keep us all away from school and work.
But what does the weather hold in store for us this afternoon in Yorkshire?
Will we be getting home easily?
Image source, ShubhoThe latest forecast for our region is for sunny spells and snow this afternoon with more scattered snow showers this evening and overnight.
Minimum temperatures though will get down as low as -5C.
Tomorrow we can expect a bitterly cold and windy day with an exceptional wind chill and a few snow showers at times.
