Keynsham People get ready - more snow and ice could be coming

Sub-zero temperatures could bring treacherous driving conditions in Keynsham and Salford tonight.

The latest weather forecasts are warning that snow could start falling in the area on Thursday night.

The next gritting run for lorries is at 9pm tonight, local farmers are on standby to help if needed, and highways inspectors will be monitoring conditions throughout the night.

However, drivers are still being asked to be very careful out on the roads.

With temperatures dropping to -1C overnight, even if rain falls rather than snow, it could make for some dangerously icy driving conditions well 　into the morning.

The back roads between Keynsham and Whitchurch were particularly treacherous on Saturday night, with cars skidding and crashing on the ice.

Bath and North East Somerset Council will be alerting residents to any disruptions of services via its Twitter feed @bathnes.

Any problems on the road can be brought to the council's attention by visiting
