A FLIGHT set off three hours late this morning as Leeds Bradford Airport has been hit by the severe weather conditions.
The Met Office placed Bradford and other parts of West Yorkshire under a yellow weather warning for snow and ice just before the weekend.
The alert was active from 2am until 3pm today, but the Met Office has since removed the warning.
Despite this, Leeds Bradford Airport is reportedly feeling the effects of the weather conditions today - with a forecast of heavy rain and high winds in Bradford and Leeds for most of this afternoon, according to the Met Office.
