Frome experienced some bizarre scattered wintry showers this afternoon (March 31) although the snow did not settle.

But with temperatures falling into the evening, it is perhaps not a surprise that Somerset Travel has announced the gritting teams will be out in the early hours of what will be the first of April.

They will be out on key roads from around 2 am.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is much the same as today, bright, with wintry showers developing later. Temperatures again as low as minus two.

As temperatures plummet over the next few days, Mendip's Severe Weather Emergency Provision will be activated to help those sleeping rough.

Meantime due to the extreme weather, the Connect Outreach Team, based at the Elim Connect Centre in Wells, work closely with the district council to provide shelter for those who need it.

Due to predictions of sub-zero temperatures, shelter will be provided on March 31 and April 1, 2 and 3.

Anyone who needs help should call 01749 677097 / 01749 670097.
