However, Jen - from Otley - told the YEP four men came out of the blizzard to help rescue drivers who had become stuck.

In a heart-warming video she captured, the men can be seen pushing cars down the street.

One of the men braved the conditions in just a t-shirt.

"It just made me feel warm and fuzzy", Jen said.

"It restored my faith in humanity!"

Jen is now desperate to track down the men.

She added: "I don't know who they are, but by posting the video on the Otley Facebook group I was hoping they would either see it or be recognised by someone and named so they would know that what they did was appreciated and give them a bit of recognition.

"It didn't take much but it was a small act of kindness that made a huge difference to those people who really needed it."
