A full treatment of main roads was carried out across the East Riding last night and again in the early hours of this morning.
Road surface temperatures reached -11C and at 7am were still -7C across the whole of the East Riding.
Forecasters indicate that temperatures will remain below freezing all day and generally dry. Ice is currently the real issue together with compact hard snow on the minor roads which will continue to be difficult for motorists to navigate in the days to come.
The fleet of gritters has gone out again this morning to plough and salt the secondary network as required. This will help get more of the network accessible and get people moving.
Resources continue to be deployed digging out snow once again to get a road into some isolated villages which had become cut off: Sledmere, Kirkby Underdale and Huggate areas. We made good progress in other areas on Saturday and Sunday.
Street sweeping staff are out filling salt bins and removing snow from high use pedestrian areas.
Residents are reminded not to go near ponds and lakes as many are frozen and pose a real danger.
Overall we have a very steadily improving picture, but it is very cold and icy one.
