End of twitter postSchool closure headteachers' 'biggest decision'published at 18:05 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February
Although an early school closure is likely to be music to students' ears, one headteacher said it was one of the "biggest decisions to make".
Tim Milburn, in charge at Rossett School in Harrogate, decided to send pupils home at 13:15 GMT because of the weather conditions.
He said the decision was "first and foremost about the safety of the whole school community".
"Particularly our young people and ensuring they can travel safely home but equally, our staff as well.
"Many of our staff don't live locally. Some of them live 45 minutes to an hour away so we've got to make sure they can also get home safely."
Mr Milburn said while the adults made the decision, the experience was very different for pupils.
"This is a really exciting day for many of our students... hopefully they've got home this afternoon and the snowball fights and sledging has begun"

Thanks to BBC Weather Watcher Rosie for sending us this pictures of a snowy scene in Huddersfield:
Image source, Rosie/BBC Weather WatchersThe Amber weather warning for snow and ice remains in place across Yorkshire until 18:00 so there's a chance the snow will continue to build for a while.
This picture, also by BBC Weather Watcher Rosie, captures another snowy scene in Huddersfield earlier today:

People have been pictured leaving their cars around parts of Sheffield and continuing their journeys on foot as snow causes the roads to become gridlocked.

BBC Radio LeedsWell, what a difference a couple of hours make...
The snow is coming down pretty steadily here at Shelf.
It’s a village on the outskirts of Bradford and much higher up than the city centre.

Image source, Charles Heslett/BBCCurrently, there’s a white quilt covering the fields.
And I’m aware of at least one primary school in nearby Oxenhope which is about to close.
The roads are still passable, but drivers have slowed right down and put their lights on to pierce the gloom.
If you can, stay at home…it’ll certainly be a lot warmer!
At the scene: Out with the gritters in South Yorkshirepublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February

BBC News
Image source, Oli Constable/BBCI'm with Anthony Cook, supervisor for Barnsley Council, one of 12 gritter operators out and about in the Penistone area today.
Behind us is 12 tonnes of grit and salt which is being used to treat the main roads and some side streets.
About 3ins of snow has fallen over the last few hours, and we're expecting it to turn to sleet and rain soon.
Up on the Woodhead Pass, the A628, the snow was pretty much falling sideways - but the road was still open.
Image source, Oli Constable/BBCOn our travels, we've seen lots of children out on their sledges and lots of people having snow days because of the Amber weather warning which is in place until 18:00 tonight.
People are still going about their daily business, walking to work or the shops - out on foot with their backpacks and their hats on as it is absolutely freezing here.
By the way, if you've ever wondered how gritter and snow plough drivers get to work, I asked Anthony, who told me, simply: "By hook or by crook, we'll have to get there."

National Highways has warned drivers in areas of Yorkshire affected by the snow to take extra care.
Image source, Dave Higgens/PA WireWith an Amber weather warning for snow and ice in place until 18:00 on Thursday, it has warned that Pennine routes could be particularly affected - especially on the highest parts, such as on the M62.
National Highways, in conjunction with the Met Office, says it is "strongly advising" that travel in these areas is likely to be "extended or even disrupted".
"Road users should heed messages on the overhead signs and listen for radio updates. Road users are advised to take extra care if travelling in the affected regions," it adds.
All the latest travel updates can be found on the National Highways website, external.

Due to abandoned cars blocking the tramway in a part of Sheffield because of the snow, there has been disruption to services, operator Stagecoach says.
Image source, Simon Thake/BBCThe purple route, which runs from Herdings Park through to Gleadless, Sheffield railway station and on to the city centre, is currently suspended, Stagecoach says.
The blue route was also suspended earlier but is running again - although with some disruption.
The operator says cars struggling in snow are slowing services and might result in further disruption
It adds: "Where you can, please allow extra time for your journeys."

Sheffield looks 'snow' pretty...but disruption could comepublished at 12:16 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February
Simon Thake
BBC Radio SheffieldThe snow is coming down in Sheffield city centre.
Earlier, I saw people gingerly making their way down to the railway station.
Image source, Simon Thake/BBCThe Amber weather warning is in place until later today and although the trains are still running, we’re hearing there could be some travel disruption as the day goes on.
As I left the station and walked back over to Parkhill, I got that lovely view of the city.
Image source, Simon Thake/BBCThere’s a slight coating on the ground and the snow is picturesque.
However, it feels like this is an emerging picture in Sheffield.
