<p>The return of snow showers forced drivers to abandon their cars on an exposed road, the coastguard has said.</p>
<p>Up to 400 motorists were forced to stop on the A171 between Whitby and Scarborough, North Yorkshire, as conditions made driving dangerous.</p>
<p>The situation caused police to ask for the coastguard to join their operation to free cars stranded in the snow.</p>
<p>The coastguard said some drivers had left their cars and set off on foot to seek refuge in local villages.</p>
<p>Coastguard Rescue Teams from Whitby and Robin Hood&#8217;s Bay were mobilised to help police and Scarborough Mountain Rescue Team.</p>
<p>The wintry showers experienced on the East Coast were predicted by forecasters.</p>
<p>Drew Mahood, Watch Manager at Humber Coastguard, said: &#8220;Coastguards do not spend all of their time dealing with incidents on cliffs, at the beach or out to sea. Our equipment is optimised for life-saving on the coast. But it can also be used to assist in incidents of this nature, when severe weather strikes inland.</p>
<p>&#8220;Coastguard teams from Whitby and Robin Hood&#8217;s Bay responded swiftly to assist in the recovery, with rescue personnel and 4&#215;4 vehicles.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last month&#8217;s big freeze brought chaos to much of the country, with a thaw only coming in the last days of the year.</p>
<p>According to Meteogroup, the weather division of the Press Association, Monday&#8217;s weather will remain chilly, with rain, sleet and hill snow possible in Scotland.</p>
