Hard frost warning for travellers
6:00pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News By Janet Gleeson
WARNINGS of severe frost and icy conditions overnight with temperatures as low as minus ten are set to cause dangerous conditions for travellers in North Yorkshire tomorrow.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Highways said: "Clear skies will allow for a widespread, hard frost overnight with road surface temperatures significantly below zero.
"Grit salt is not so effective at temperatures below minus 5 so road users are advised to take extra care, allow for extra journey times and to slow down in order to keep a distance from the car in front.”
