Snow update 10.15am: 120 schools shut, trains cancelled, buses hit, airport reopens as winds and snow drifts cause fresh problems in Doncaster
FULL LIST OF SCHOOL CLOSURES BELOW
Frequent heavy snow showers have seen fresh accumulations overnight - although gritting teams have been out all night and main routes are operating reasonably freely.
However, untreated and estate roads are treacherous after temperatures dipped below freezing overnight and Doncaster Council is now turning its attentions to drifting snow in some rural areas.

Many schools are shut for a second day, with the number closed currently standing at more than 120.
It is understood many schools will be taking a call on whether to open tomorrow later today.
Meanwhile, commuters are facing another difficult day on public transport.

A spokesman for Doncaster Sheffield Airport said the airport was now open and added: "Our teams are currently working hard to ensure we are operational and reduce disruption caused by the adverse weather we are experiencing. Please check with your airline if you are flying with us."
Meanwhile, on the trains, services between Doncaster and Leeds have been cancelled, and snow and ice is causing delays and disruptions across the network with passengers being advised to check before they travel.
Meanwhile, the Doncaster Book Awards event, which takes place at The Dome, is going ahead as planned - although hundreds of children expected to attend may be absent from today's presentation.
