Blizzard conditions as Cookridge blanketed in heavy snow fall - as these photos and video show

Heavy snow has come down in Cookridge, blanketing roads and driveways and making much of the area totally impassable.

Thick snow is falling fast, settling on roads and in gardens, after first beginning to fall at around 7.30am.

Other parts of Leeds have also seen snow including Kirkstall and Alwoodley, but Cookridge and Horsforth seem to have it the worst as of 9.30am.
