A decision is due to be made later over whether to close a North Yorkshire School which has just 15 pupils. 

The county council say it's meeting "with a heavy heart" to discuss the future of Horton-in-Ribblesdale Primary. 

The 300-year-old school was judged "Outstanding" at its last inspection, but the council says it'll struggle to survive financially and maintain that high quality in the future. 

If closure notices are published there will be a consultation period and a final assessment in January would decide if the school is to close in April.  

Parents and governors say if the school did close, it would "rip the heart out" of the local community:

Something to put a smile on your face on this cold Tuesday morning.

It was a great event in York - and here are some of the quirkier moments:

A woman has died following a collision near Boroughbridge, external.

It happened at about 12:25 yesterday afternoon on the A168 just south of the town and involved a red Ford Ka and a green lorry.

The driver of the Ka, a woman in her thirties, was taken to Harrogate District Hospital where she later died.

The driver of the lorry was uninjured but "very shaken up", according to police.

Anyone who saw either of the vehicles before the collision is asked to contact police.

Let's get some more now on the news that Drax is to spend £340m on buying Opus Energy and four gas turbine development projects.

In a statement, Dorothy Thompson, chief executive of Drax Group, says: "These acquisitions will play an important role in helping the government meet their ambition of new gas generation, reducing carbon emissions, forcing more coal off the system, providing additional system support to 'plug the gaps' created by intermittent renewables and boosting security of supply."

However she adds: "With the right conditions, we can do even more, converting further units at Drax to use sustainable biomass in place of coal. This is the fastest and most reliable way to support the UK's decarbonisation targets, while minimising the cost to households and businesses."

An outbreak of norovirus continues to cause problems at Scarborough Hospital.

Oak ward, Graham ward and Aspen unit are all now closed. 

Bosses at the hospital are asking anyone with symptoms of sickness and diarrhoea to not visit patients to help prevent the spread of the illness.

People who have been unwell are being asked not to visit the hospital until they have been free of symptoms for 48 hours.

There's been big news from North Yorkshire-based power station Drax within the last few minutes.

The company's announced plans to buy an energy supply company for £340m as well as four gas turbine development projects.

Andy Koss, CEO at Drax, has told me it's all part of a new strategy for the company:

Here's a good bit of advice from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service for this dank and foggy morning:

The amount North Yorkshire County Council will pay care homes for their services next year is to be discussed by councillors later.

The authority's proposing to increase care home fees by 5% to almost £500 per person per week, and plans to increase nursing home fees by 15% to just over £490 per person per week.

But those who run the homes say it's not enough and warn some could go out of business. 

I've been to take a look around one of the county council's independent living projects in Sowerby, near Thirsk, which helps people to live in their own homes:

Work is due to start today on plugging a sinkhole in Ripon with concrete.

People living in Magdalen's Road were forced out of their homes when the hole opened up on the night of 7 November, swallowing two gardens.  

Over the past few days, engineers have cleared the hole of debris.

Repairs to a sewer, badly damaged at the time, should also be completed by Friday.

A cold and murky start, with extensive low cloud, mist and some freezing fog. 

Given light winds, these conditions may persist in many areas throughout the day.

However, the dense patches of fog should lift a little into low cloud with a few limited brighter intervals developing. 

The top temperature will be about 5C (41F).

As I've already mentioned, you need to be very careful on the county's roads this morning and allow more time for your commute to work because of the fog.

However, at the moment there are no reported hold-ups across North Yorkshire.

Meanwhile, the live departure board at York Railway Station, external is a thing of beauty with all trains running pretty much to time.

I'll be with you until 14:30 with all the latest news, travel, sport and weather from across North Yorkshire. 

Be careful if you're going to be out and about across North Yorkshire today: there's lost of mist and fog out there this morning. More on the weather in just a few minutes. 

But let's start with this very seasonal photo sent into us by our BBC Weather Watcher P-Jam who spotted this lonely looking robin at Fewston near Harrogate.

And remember you, too, can send in your pictures via Twitter, external, Facebook, external or email.

A coroner recommends pilots have plane-specific aerobatics training after two RAF trainees died when they were unable to recover from a spin.

That's it from me today, but updates from across North Yorkshire will continue throughout the afternoon and evening.  

Meanwhile, here are five things we've learned about our county so far today: 

1. The future of York's Community Stadium has been thrown into more doubt after the main contractor to build it pulled out of the project
2. A 76-year-old man has died in a crash after it's thought he drove his car the wrong way on the A64
3. More than 100 children have been arrested for drink driving across Yorkshire in the past five years
4. North Yorkshire County Council is defending plans to recruit about 600 volunteers to keep about 40 of its libraries open
5. Is Eric Marshall's Christmas lights display in Bagby, near Thirsk, the most impressive in North Yorkshire?

With the cold weather set to continue for at least the next 24 hours, I thought I'd leave you with this montage of a frozen North Yorkshire:
