Emmerdale filming had to be cancelled for the day on Friday (March 10) due to the heavy snowfall.
The ITV soap films on a purpose-built village set and at studios in Leeds, which has been hit with thick snow and an amber weather warning from the Met Office. As a result of that, production has been paused.
"Due to the weather and road accessibility all Emmerdale filming units have been cancelled today," a spokesperson for the soap told Digital Spy in a statement.
It looks like the cast are going to enjoy the day off, as Nick Miles, who plays Jimmy King, tweeted: "Filming on Emmerdale cancelled today due to the snow. Look out Leeds. We're all going sledging!"

Hopefully, we'll get to see lots of photos of the cast enjoying some fun in the snow throughout the day, and the soap can catch up pretty quickly once filming resumes.
Tonight will see a special male-only episode of Emmerdale air, exploring the topic of men's mental health in powerful scenes as Marlon Dingle gathers a group of villagers to talk about their issues in order to try and help Paddy through an incredibly dark time.
"It was a really interesting experience," Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon, said of the filming.

"It was two straight days of us being on set together and everybody is still talking about it now. It's a wonderfully-written episode and David Kester has directed it beautifully.
"It's a really strange thing to say because of the subject matter, but we had an amazing time and the camaraderie was really wonderful.
"Obviously there's a lot of waiting round when you're filming and there was some laughter during those times, but there was some talk around the subject that we're exploring as well."
Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 7.30pm on ITV1, and streams on ITVX.
