"Two roads are currently closed – Cragg Vale out of Mytholmroyd and Keighley Road out of Hebden Bridge - however we have snow across all our road network.

The council has also said: “Our gritting fleet and additional tractors with snow ploughs will continue treating the priority network until it is clear of snow.

"We will then look to treating the remaining primary and secondary routes."
