Gritters out across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough as Met Office …
People are being urged to take care on Cambridgeshire’s roads as temperatures are set to plummet. The Met Office has advised that the first Autumn frost is expected across the area.
Gritters are set to be deployed across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough on Friday night (November 24).
A Cambridgeshire County Council spokesperson said: “Gritters will be out across Cambridgeshire[1] this evening. Please take care on the roads.”
A Peterborough[4] City Council spokesperson said: “Our gritters are going out for the first time this season as road surface temperatures are set to drop below zero. Be Winter Wise and stay safe on the roads by driving in accordance with the conditions – gritting can only do so much to keep the roads safe.”
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, said: “Early next week, following a brief more unsettled interlude, we expect to see a return to widely cold but quiet conditions. Some rain, or showers, are likely to affect some parts of the east coast, and these could turn increasingly wintry over higher ground areas towards the middle of the week.
“Thereafter, confidence in the detailed forecast falls, which is typical when looking this far ahead. It does look as though there will be a trend towards something more unsettled, as areas of cloud and rain attempt to move across the UK.”
