Power restored to hundreds of homes in Hawes after heavy snow
Over 400 properties in Hawes have had power restored after an outage during heavy snow over the weekend.
Northern Powergrid said a grounded overhead power line was to blame for the cut.
Work in the area was hampered by the heavy snowfall, after several inches hit the Newby Head Pass between Hawes and Ingleton, with as much as 12 inches reported on the Buttertubs Pass.
Swaledale Mountain Rescue had warned the roads in the area were "snow bound in and out" to cars which don't have snow tyres.
However the quick change to warmer temperatures since the weekend has seen a lot of excess water in the area due to the snow melting, and a flood alert is in place for the Upper River Ure area.
