The snow is closing in, and Bradford Council are putting in a plan of action to ensure the city's main roads are kept safe.
It announced earlier that, from 12pm, it would be doing a full grit of all Prority One routes across the district.
The arduous task is set to last until around 3pm and will cover over 700 miles and 62% of the district's roads.
