Emmerdale viewers were loving a change to the scenery on the ITV soap during Monday night's episode.
While a mixture of weather saw sunshine, showers and heavy winds on Monday evening across the UK, in the Dales it was snowing.
Heavy snow covered the soap location in scenes that aired, with Caleb Miligan and Leyla Harding caught out in the snowfall.
As Caleb returned to the graveyard later in the episode, shortly after Kim Tate was walking through the cemetery, there was once again heavy snow covering the trees and the ground.
As viewers know filming takes place weeks in advance, with scenes airing on screen often filmed around five to six weeks prior to transmission.
