Darren Clark, in charge of National Highways, urged drivers to keep distance and reduce their speed. “Even in conditions that look normal may snow be slippery if ice has formed or if no sandstone has fallen on the pavement,” he said.

According to meteorologists the cause of this bad weather is an Arctic sea gas mass. As Met Office chief Neil Armstrong said the cold arctic air means that “it is possible to continue the risks for most of this week” with possible new warnings.
