More snow is forecast for the weekend ahead

come late in the month as it did in that year when the worst snow since the 1970s hit Huddersfield.

Then there was snow falling for 45 hours solid with wind whipping it into drifts of up to 20ft over the hills.

The Met Office also has a warning for bitterly cold weather, saying: “... in the north and east some snow showers are possible.

“It may become rather cold for most, with frosts possible. It will be drier, although further wintry showers are likely in the east and north-east, and this is likely to continue towards the end of March.”

And the BBC has snowfall for Huddersfield on both Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Temperatures will not get above 4°C but at times the temperature feels like -4°C.
