BLACK ice saw a number of roads closed in Plymouth yesterday, with temperatures across the region dropping to minus four degrees in some places and snow on higher ground.

- By HERALD REPORTER

Steep roads in Eggbuckland including Reddington Road, Hollycroft Road, Donnington Drive and a section of Valley View Road were all closed due to black ice, together with Holmwood Avenue in Goosewell.

Gritters were sent out yesterday afternoon, while a second sweep of major roads was due to take place in the early hours of this morning. The Met Office had previously issued a yellow weather warning for snow and ice in Devon until noon yesterday, with a second one issued from 12pm today until 11am today.

In the wider region, snow has made conditions difficult on the A386 at Lydford and A3079 in Okehampton.
