A Chief Forecaster for the Exeter based MET office said:
“Snow showers have struggled to settle on roads during the daytime but as road temperatures fall this evening settling will take place more readily, although the frequency and intensity of snow showers will tend to reduce.
Ice will form on untreated roads and pavements that have been left wet by melted snow from the daytime.”
Icy weather has been swept in by winds from Siberia, said forecasters who predicted some of the coldest conditions of the winter.
Commuters faced icy conditions on the outskirts of Exeter this morning as temperatures dipped below freezing.
But Haldon Hill and Telegraph Hill, which are often a major problem for commuters, were both snow-free. And there was little more than a light dusting of snow across the city.
