On the B1362, a fallen tree has been removed but is causing a slight backlog in traffic near Halsham and Burstwick.
Another fallen tree is partially blocking traffic in both directions on East Dale Road in Melton.
In Hull, Ings Road is also partially blocked near the junction with James Reckitt Avenue because of a fallen tree.
The Met Office issued a severe weather warning for parts of East Yorkshire.
The 'yellow' warning, which means 'be aware', was for rain which is expected to turn to snow on high ground.
Forecasters said 2cm to 5cm of snow was likely in places, mainly above around 200m with as much as 10 to 15cm possible above 300m.
Little, if any, snow is expected to accumulate on roads and pavements below 200m however, it will be very windy and cloudy with a maximum daytime temperatures of 6C.
Tonight, the temperature will drop as low as -1C and there will be widespread frost.
Tomorrow predicted to bring a frosty but bright start to the day, which will be dry with plenty of sunshine but cold with a maximum temperature of 8C.

“Surely all drivers have the skills to cope with adverse weather conditions, having passed an examination of their abilities before being allowed on the roads?”

“Not seen any snow and us in Hull will not see any.
Yes we have rain, some very tiny amounts of sleet and high winds but NO SNOW.
Why do papers always have to paint a bad picture for forecasts.
By the weekend all will be back to normal. No wind, slight rain (April Showers) with some sunshine."”
