The Met Office is warning people about the potential for some travel disruption and difficult driving conditions.

Snake Pass has been closed between Glossop and Ladybower Reservoir, according to news reports, but the Woodhead Pass has been reported as open.

By tonight the Met Office expects it to stay mainly dry with light winds and variable cloud overnight.

Clearer spells may allow for a sharp frost to develop, perhaps with isolated freezing fog patches, and icy patches on untreated surfaces.
