Jersey's Infrastructure team were out in the early hours of the morning with six salt spreaders to manage icy roads – marking the most significant gritting operation in the island since 2013.
Ahead of rush hour traffic this morning, the Government confirmed that roads were mainly clear of ice and snow but caution is needed due to the potential for localised freezing.
Well-used pavements and paths in St Helier were also salted, but pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to take extra caution.
Country lanes have not been salted so may be icy.
Liberty Bus is expecting to run a normal service today.
There remains the chance of showers of snow or sleet this morning. While no significant accumulations are anticipated, these will keep the surfaces wet and icy in places.
Cloud cover will break at times overnight and the air and ground temperature will remain consistently below zero. The moderate breeze will make it feel even chillier.
