Yorkshire weather: Winter set to return with high winds, cold temperatures and even snow across the county

JUST when we were starting to enjoy the warmer Spring-like weather it seems that Yorkshire will once again return to the grips of Winter this week.
Yorkshire enjoyed some mild weather at the weekend, but things will turn colder as this week progresses... with the chance of some snow on Thursday.Yorkshire enjoyed some mild weather at the weekend, but things will turn colder as this week progresses... with the chance of some snow on Thursday.

Warm air from the tropical areas of the Atlantic arrived over the weekend providing temperatures as high as 15C in some parts of the county.

However, any hopes that an early Spring had already sprung will be frozen out by Thursday as colder air arrives, bringing with it some severe wintry showers and even some snow on higher ground.
