The worst affected area was Hornsea, where at least 30

Three people had to be saved from a car in the town as high tides

and strong winds meant the sea overcame defences.

:00:29.:00:30.

Much of our coastline had been warned to expect flooding with high

And it was Hornsea that came off worst.

In these conditions, the reason why I like it is because I am out there,

there are no buildings or cars, just me at one with the sea, where I feel

:06:11.:06:15.

After today's weather, you will be pleased to know that

we've had the highest of the tides, the storm surge has now moved away

:06:20.:06:22.

and the strong winds are beginning to ease.

:06:23.:06:24.

A warning for ice, however, on untreated roads and pavements

:06:25.:06:27.

into tomorrow and that's because we've had a fair few

:06:28.:06:29.

showers today, mainly affecting coastal areas,

:06:30.:06:30.

and we are expecting a widespread frost overnight.

:06:31.:06:32.

So, very cold and frosty conditions, temperatures quite a few

:06:33.:06:35.

degrees below freezing, particularly for inland spots.

:06:36.:06:37.

So, some slippery, frosty surfaces into tomorrow and we will still see

:06:38.:06:39.

that northerly wind feeding in a few wintry showers to the coast,

:06:40.:06:42.

still quite brisk along the coast, but not as strong as today.

:06:43.:06:45.

Everywhere else, dry and fine, plenty of sunshine but bitterly

:06:46.:06:48.

cold, temperatures only getting up to around three or four degrees.

:06:49.:06:50.

So, a very cold day to come tomorrow, but through tomorrow

:06:51.:06:53.

evening more cloud developing from the West and actually,

:06:54.:06:55.

on Sunday, it will develop into a milder day with temperatures

:06:56.:06:58.

But a lot of cloud through Sunday with outbreaks of rain and drizzle.

:06:59.:07:02.

Do send us your photos and videos of the tidal surge that we have

:07:03.:07:23.

experienced up and down the Yorkshire coast today.

That's all from Look North tonight, we'll be back tomorrow afternoon

have the peak of the high tide to come in other parts. This is the

flood line number. It's if you have any concerns. The worst of the wind

slowly comes -- subsiding. Wintry showers across the North of Scotland

:08:07.:08:10.

and some filtering well inland across the Midlands, giving a light

dusting in some places. An icy night, temperatures widely close to

or below freezing, particularly where you have snow cover. Tomorrow
