Main roads in Bristol are set to be gritted amid 'very frosty and icy conditions' in the region. There have been reports of snow falling in parts of our city today (Thursday, March 31) while the Met Office predicts temperatures will plummet further in April.
In a tweet, Bristol City Council says all priority routes will be gritted and warned people to drive carefully. It comes as The Met Office has forecast 'wintry showers' for Bristol as parts of the north are already covered in snow - despite it being Spring.
The Met Office forecast for tomorrow (April 1) in the South West reads: "A cold and frosty start with sunny spells. A few isolated showers of rain, sleet and hill snow, some places in the west remaining dry for much of the day. Maximum temperature 10 °C." There will be further showers on Saturday and Sunday, with cloud and rain pushing south on Monday.
