We are entering a further period where severe freezing road temperatures will persist across parts of the county from tomorrow, with road temperatures potentially falling to -8°C in places on Wednesday night.
No further significant rain or snow is likely during the period until possibly the weekend.
The last weekend showers will have left some runoff in places and therefore there is the potential for icy patches. Beware Stakes Road and Duke’s Mill, especially!
Overnight frosts are likely in many parts of the county and road temperatures will struggle to rise much above freezing during the day especially where there is shade.
The Meteogroup 2-5 day forecast is as follows:
