Temperatures are expected to plummet to -4c in places across the Isle of Wight overnight, bringing icy conditions on the roads and even the potential for frozen harbours tomorrow morning (Monday).
A cold, clear night is expected with a moderate frost in places, according to IW Met Service. This will lead to icy patches as well as some low lying freezing mist and fog patches. Temperatures will sit between -2c to 0c, although a few localised rural spots could see -4c. It will be closer to 2c on windward coasts.
Ice, frost and poor visibility is expected first thing tomorrow morning, especially on more rural routes, but things will improve by mid-morning to produce another fine day with long sunny spells.
Gritters have already completed one run across the Isle of Wight having left Stag Lane at 17:30. The gritters will be re-deployed at 06:00 tomorrow morning to re-treat particularly wet patches.
Motorists should take extra care on the roads when travelling around the Island. At around 07:30 this morning a car left the road near Ventnor after hitting black ice, as previously reported by Island Echo.
A frost alert has been issued by IW Met Service – official weather forecasters to Island Echo. You can view how the Island will be affected at https://www.iwmetservice.co.uk/iceandfrost/.

That sounds a cracking idea?
In the words of the late Jim Bowen “Are you asking me or telling me?”
Mine has never cracked, they are laminated these days. If you only use warm it just freezes again, by the way I am parked up at Tesco, should your screen need replacing!
