Weather
The Met Office had previously issued yellow weather warning throughout the week of ice and snow, but have now been taken down as there was small amounts of sun seeping through.
Slippery roads and pathways are still treacherous, so gritters have been out and trying to help.
The weekend is set to continue the cold weather, with low temperatures of 6 degrees. However, wind speed and humidity will make the outside feel like -2 degrees.
