TEMPERATURES dropped overnight, leading to icy conditions on many roads in both rural and urban areas across the county. Motorists have been urged to reduce speed and drive with caution as, with early morning temperatures just above zero, ice is likely to remain in sheltered areas for some time. Any rainfall could make conditions even worse.
