Police urge motorists to 'take care' as snow begins to fall in Doncaster
Following the first flurries of the white stuff, which fell at around 11am this morning, a police spokesman tweeted: "We're expecting snow today. Take care out there."
Snow is expected to fall intermittently throughout this afternoon, and the Met Office has also issued a yellow warning of ice for the borough tomorrow.
