The welcome to the programme. We are live in the Holme Valley. Look | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
at this, snow everywhere. Up to four inches of the white stuff | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
caused havoc. It is only the first week of April but the snow is not | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
On the North York Moors, motorists were left stranded. Elsewhere, tens | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
of thousands of people were left without electricity. And the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
heaviest April snow for Yorkshire in more than 30 years saw chaos on | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:54. | ||
the regions roads during rush hour. On the M 62, people were stranded. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
And also coming up on tonight's programme: | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
Making a city fit for a Queen. We're in York where last-minute | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
preparations are being made to welcome the Queen for tomorrow's | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Maundy service. And Rotherham's Ben Swift lives up | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
to his name, winning one of two Yorkshire gold medals at the Track | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
:01:18. | :01:18. | ||
Cycling World Championships. And join me for the weather. It was a | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
slowly started the day. Tomorrow should be dry with some sunshine. I | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:34. | ||
will have the full forecast later What a difference a week makes. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Last Wednesday, temperatures were in the early 70s and drought orders | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
had just been introduced by the Environment Agency. This is hade | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Edge, high on the Pennines. The wind-chill is biting cold, hints | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
that his hat. Last week, the Environment Agency and as there | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
were restrictions in some parts of Yorkshire. The reservoir looks for | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
tonight. Once the snow melts, it will be topped up. This low, | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
although a forecast, it seems to have caused the number of people by | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
surprise. Especially on the main Trans Pennine route, the and 62 | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
caused problems today. Drivers find it to a halt in West Yorkshire and | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
thousands of homes were left without power. We have three | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
:02:33. | :02:33. | ||
reports from around the region for sport --. If there were four inches | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
of snow in the main, in North Yorkshire, not far beyond the whole | :02:38. | :02:48. | |
:02:48. | :02:50. | ||
of war com, drifts of up to halt -- 33. By day, it all looked calm and | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
pretty. But last night, conditions were appalling and dangerous. Our | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
reporters soon found out. We are right here, smack in the middle of | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
the Yorkshire Dales. You wouldn't believe it but the weather here | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
last week was 23 degrees. People were actually sitting outside in | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
their shorts and T-shirts. They were sunbathing here. Now, we can | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
barely stand up, it is so cold, windy and snowy. This road was one | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
of the first to be cleared. Elsewhere, it was a battle to | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
reopen. A tractor to the rescue of this stricken than here. In Whitby, | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
this woman and her child were one of 11,000 households without power | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
when the overhead lines were blown down. Making her bottles, it has | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
been difficult. But luckily, I have a gas hob so I could world some | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
water. If it had happened for any longer, we would have been | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
struggling. This winter came as a shock to many. Snow was covering | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
the landscape which last week was in spring. Elsewhere today, it has | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
a scene of transport chaos in and around the motorways of West | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
Yorkshire. Even the most gentle of inclines cools lorries to a | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
standstill at this roundabout. Truckers from across the country | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
caught out by a late last of the Pennine winter. Tailbacks snaked in | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
all directions. This very afternoon, it was lovely. I got us far as | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Chesterfield and were cut this morning, there was a foot of snow. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Britain services offered grit to get traffic moving but there was | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
never going to be enough for everyone. It is not just lorries | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
that have been struggling. Cars have been finding it equally hard | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
going and because of the conditions, I decided to abandon my vehicle hit | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
a couple of hours ago. That has been a deeply frustrating because | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
last November, I put winter November -- I put winter tyres on | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
this car but last week, I took them off. It turns out that was the | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
wrong decision and this morning, I have been skidding a red everyone. | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
Some give up on the drive, walking to work. We got in the car at 7 | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
o'clock this morning so it has taken us well over an hour and a | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
half to get so far in so the 20 minutes. It is amazing how the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
weather changes in just 24 hours. The higher the hill, the worst the | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
weather with snow of forcing the closure of the most exposed roots. | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
This was the A635 from Holmfirth to Alton. One unexpected winter | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
weather is appreciated by some give. Today, children are playing in | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
these fields, building an igloo and doing a bit of sledging. And | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
snowballing. Igloo building, sledging and snowballing art | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
regular Easter activities. Last night, these two children slept | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
under canvas. It's got to get real called and we went outside. So, not | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
a great night for can he? Recent winters have broken records | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
for the intensity of the cold. 2012 will be remembered for biting back | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
and temporarily removing all signs of spring. So, some pretty dramatic | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
pictures there. But it is about three degrees, just a few degrees | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
above freezing but the wind-chill is so cold, it really does cut you | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
in half. But alongside the problems in North and West Yorkshire, South | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Yorkshire and North Derbyshire were affected. The Trans Pennine winds | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
and the Woodhead Pass was especially difficult with several | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
inches of snow falling there. My colleague was there. He is at the | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
:07:08. | :07:10. | ||
bottom of the Woodhead Pass. We can teach you a thing or two about | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
wind-chill here. It is absolutely bitter himself you should do. As | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
you join us, the road has only just reopened. It has been closed all | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
day. Quite clear now, it is usually being used by thousands of vehicles | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
at this time a but going between Sheffield and Manchester. Look at | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
these pictures we recorded earlier today. It looks absolutely | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
different to the way it looks now. People getting stuck, people | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
ignoring the do Not Cross signs, and people grinding to a halt at | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
the top of the hill. About 30 lorries got stuck, 20 or 30 cars, | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
people were there for hours. We asked the police what they think | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
people were ignoring the roadblocks? I don't think they | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
believe why the road closures were in place. On the Sheffield site, | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
it's not quite as bad as this. I don't know what it is like on the | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Derbyshire side. As you can see, it speaks for itself. The temperatures | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
are plummeting as we speak. Joining the now is one of the regional | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
commanders for the murder in rescue. You have had a busy day today, | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
haven't you? We certainly have. We stuff that nobody this morning. We | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
took about Aberdeen -- a dozen motorists off the Woodhead Pass. | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
The same problems, they found close science, traffic was moving through | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
it, we had to recover a few... think we got the message there. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
Thank you. I'm afraid the icicles must have affected our signal, | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
there. I have to say, thank you so much for everyone who has been | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
sending us photographs all day. Just to remind you, the Woodhead | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Pass has just reopened. We will show you some pictures later in the | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
programme but do keep them coming. You can post on our Facebook page. | :09:16. | :09:26. | |
:09:26. | :09:34. | ||
Or you can send us an e-mail. We are going to go back to Philip at | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the end of the programme for a look at how the birds are going to be | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
surviving and how it is going to affect all your flowers and plants. | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Let's have a look at the rest of the day's news now. And bin crews | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
in Sheffield have called three days of strikes over a pay dispute with | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
their employer Veolia. The industrial action called by the GMB | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
will disrupt collections on three consecutive Fridays starting next | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
week, 13th April. More talks are scheduled for tomorrow. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
A West Yorkshire manufacturing firm which employs more than 350 people | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
has gone in to administration. Birkbys Plastics is based at | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Liversedge. The administrators have told Look North that there will not | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
be any immediate redundancies. In better employment news, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Debenhams are moving about 200 jobs from their call centre in Somerset | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
to Leeds. The firm says call volumes have increased rapidly due | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
to online shopping and the centre in Somerset was not coping with | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
demand. The firm says they'll outsource the work to Capita. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
A Thalidomide victim from North Yorkshire who served 20 years in | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
jail in the Philippines has arrived back home after being pardoned. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Billy Burton was jailed for 30 years after trying to smuggle | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
cannabis out of the country. He received a pardon from the | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Philippino president after UK campaigns to release him due to his | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
deteriorating health. Developers behind a proposed new | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
shopping complex in York city centre say they'll pull out if | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
plans for a John Lewis store and other shops at out of town Monks | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Cross go ahead. The council's cabinet met yesterday to discuss | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
moving forward with the Castle Picadilly site which is next to the | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:26. | ||
Eye. Lasalle UK says the city isn't big enough for both projects. It is | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Maundy Thursday tomorrow. This year, the purses will be distributed at | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
York Minster. Today, final preparations were under way for the | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
city's rather first -- special visitor. A look outside shows there | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
is someone important committee York. Large teams of specialist officers | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
from several police forces have spent the days making last my | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
security checks to keep the Queen say. Every bin and drain cover is | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
checked and checked again. Inside, preparations have been going on all | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
week. Getting the chairs in the right place is crucial and all of | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
tomorrow's Ryan Day service will be rehearsed. It is great to have the | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
Queen coming. It is the first time since Luddism T2 that she has made | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
a return visit to distribute the Maundy. It is great for us and | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
breadth of the city. This is local dating York. This time tomorrow, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
thousands of people will be lining the streets to see Her Majesty the | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Queen and already, the local traders have been out in force | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
decorating the street. All the bunting is out but doing that has | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
been a miserable job in today's weather conditions. You look like | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
you're doing a sterling job, there. Yes, it is cold and a bit wet but | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
we are all doing our bit. It is absolutely freezing. It might feel | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
like winter outside but there is a little bitter spring inside the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Mansion House where ladies from the local foul group have been asked to | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
dress the tables with the Queen will have lunch. -- local flower | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
group. I can't believe that tomorrow, at the Queen will be here | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
after all that planning. Look at your flowers, they are rather | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
spectacular. They spell so spring- like. Would you like to have a go? | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
Put it into the foam. Push it well in. That is a focal point. The | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
yellow, I know the weather has not been brilliant, but it really does | :13:24. | :13:33. | |
make it look like Spring Show Show. -- spring sunshine. We know the | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
Queen loves flowers. She is going to look at my flower now. Yes, she | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
is. And another on a for the Queen, one City trader has found a Union | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
flag from the Second World War. It will be there tomorrow, flying high | :13:50. | :14:00. | |
above the well-wishers, whatever I never had him down as a flower | :14:00. | :14:09. | |
arranger! Maundy Thursday has been celebrated before in York but it is | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
the only cathedral to have hosted the service twice in modern times. | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
The lucky recipients will each receive two courses, one white and | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
one red. The red purse will contain a five pound coin. Also a 50 pence | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
piece. The white purse contains uniquely minted Maundy money. | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
Silver, 1, 2, 3 and 4 penny pieces. Where did the tradition that begin | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
and why does Her Majesty still have to ask permission to enter the city | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
:14:56. | :15:02. | ||
of York? Ian Stewart has been It has been 40 years since the | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Queen distributed Maundy money in York. It is here where she will be | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
welcomed into this city. The tradition that dates back to Roman | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
times when emperors and my next travelling up from the south would | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
come to Micklegate bar where they can look up and see the severed | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
heads of traitors looking down at them. Luckily nothing so much | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
Cambrai takes place today. It is a great honour to welcome the Queen | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
to the City of York on behalf of the residents. I understand she is | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
required to ask of me her permission to enter the city which | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
I undoubtedly it will give. Majesty will come here to York | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
Minster to moped is to be the Maundy money. The ancient ceremony | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
dates back to Christ's command but now we should love each other which | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
she -- which he gave before washing the feet of the disciples on the | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
night before Good Friday. It seems to have been the custom as early as | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
the 13th century. They distribute money and gifts. It was Henry the | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
4th that began the practice of relating the number of recipients | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
of gifts to the sovereign age. Men and women have been chosen to take | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
part in the ceremony to mark. thought I was going down to one of | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
the garden parties. When I opened it and it was the Maundy money, I | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:51. | ||
felt really honoured and wonderful. 2012 is set to be a memorable year | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
for York and for the Queen. As her Majesty celebrates her diamond | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
jubilee, York celebrates 800 years since becoming a self-governing | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
city. Events marking such historic occasions will be taking place | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
throughout the year with her Majesty's visit this Thursday being | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
:17:20. | :17:22. | ||
the icing on the cake. We have had lots of e-mails. We | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
know it is Maundy money. The Queen's arrival means there will be | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
delays in York. There of roads closed tonight. Around the railway | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
station, Micklegate and the Minister will be closed. The | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
council are advising people to use the park and ride and public | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
transport but they want everyone to come to welcome the Queen to York. | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
Still to come: A hoping for a better year than last. Yorkshire's | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
critic is it -- cricketers looking to bounce back on the eve of the | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
new season. And he is that red hair from houses | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
filled who has won gold at the Track Cycling World Championships, | :18:05. | :18:13. | |
getting closer to Olympic glory in London. | :18:13. | :18:20. | |
I don't take delight that the cyclists beat Australia but it is | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
time to introduce all the way from Australia, Jason. You have a brand | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
new job as first team coach. Last year, they went down. This is a big | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
year. It is very exciting for Yorkshire cricket and cold wait for | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
this season to start. You say it is exciting for Yorkshire cricket, I | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
think it would be exciting if we were still up there in the number | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
one leak. We would like that. We are not and there is nothing we can | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
do about that. We are not worrying about that. We are not referring to | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
2011 this season. Sorry, it doesn't exist. As long as you get back up | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
there next year. Our focus is on playing positive cricket. If we can | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
do that, we believe results will take care of themselves. People | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
were nudging when you were announced as the team coach. They | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
were saying you were the man. Are you really quite tough underneath | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
it? Are you coming to shout them back up there ought to cajole them? | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
My focus is working together with everyone from support staff to the | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
players, to everyone involved in the club. We are all here working | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
together to get the best resorts and I am a big believer in giving | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
players responsibility for their own games on and off the field. If | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
we can work together, I believe that is a good formula for success. | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
We were talking before we came on their, the time that Jason has, he | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
got burnt last week in this country! We had a game against | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
Durham and it was very over cast so I didn't put any suncream on. | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
got burnt last week. The snow has come. That must mean it is start of | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
the cricket season. It is bizarre. I was growing but my wife was happy. | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
She likes the snow. It is a novelty for her. It would be a novelty if | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
we go up. We would like to see you again with a trophy and back up | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
there. Thank you very much. football, Huddersfield Town | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
returned to winning ways. A 3-1 victory at Leyton Orient. They went | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
behind early on but equalised when Jimmy Smith turned the ball into | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
his own net. Before half-time, Jordan Rhodes put Huddersfield in | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
front. The Terriers have now closed the gap on Sheffield Wednesday to | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
just three points. For news of double gold for | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
Yorkshire at the Track Cycling World Championships in Melbourne | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
now. Huddersfield's Ed Clancy and Ben Swift from Rotherham became | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
world champions today at their last major event before the London | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
Olympics. Celebrating with them is Ian Bucknell. | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
It may have been snowing in Yorkshire but it was raining goals | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
in the Melbourne. They won the team pursuit against Australia. The lead | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
changed hands but Britain came out on top in a world record time. | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
is the best World Championships I have had. You have to fight for the | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
ones that you remember and I will never forget that one. We knew it | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
was a battle going into wet. Then Ben Swift claimed a second gold | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
with victory in the men's 15 kilometres scratch race. It was | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
sweet success after he was left out of the pursuit team. I tried to | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
play it cool and make everybody chase. It is the hardest I have | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
ever had to work. His world-beating performance was in an event that | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
would be part of the London Games. His victory may be enough to force | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
his way into the Olympic team pursuit when he could end up | :22:47. | :22:57. | |

Celebrating victory there. Lisa and I were just saying last week we | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
were in our summer best and now we are in an hour red woollen jackets. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
For the Queen's visit, could we be wearing thermals? | :23:16. | :23:26. | |

The sun is going to shine but she We have had it all today. We have | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
had snow and winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour. Tomorrow, it | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
promises to be a quieter day. We have some welcome sunshine. We have | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
this ridge of high pressure that will settle the weather down | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
temporarily. We will see rain at times. On the satellite picture, we | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
have the clout that we have had and the weather front that brought us | :23:55. | :24:05. | |

:24:24. | :24:30. | ||
down to zero Celsius. The sun will Tomorrow, a cold and frosty start | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
to the day but a bright start with plenty of sunshine. Any cloud we | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
see will melt away during the morning. Not as windy as it has | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
been today and it will not feel quite as cold. Temperatures below | :24:46. | :24:56. | |

We have been very worried about our plans. We have an expert coming up. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
You were talking about the cricket CCN -- the cricket season early on. | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
It seems a long way off to me. The snow is here and it will stay for | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
some time because it is very cold. You mentioned about the gardens. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Neil Grant is the Radio Sheffield gardening experts. Now we are | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
plunged back into winter. How will it affect our plans? A most of them | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
will be fine. It is unusual, particularly after last week. The | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
new stuff going on could be a problem. The old primula may get | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
scorched bet me birds will come through. What about the birds? How | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
:26:22. | :26:23. | ||
will this affect them? They can move and plants can't. All of this | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
snow we are getting, we hear about the drought measures and gardeners | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
calling out for water. This will help. This is slow rain because it | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
will work its way through the soil so it will be really useful for | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
gardeners. Many thanks for talking to us. Thank you for braving the | :26:43. | :26:49. |
