Rotherham Borough Council said roads across the area would be gritted from 7pm and would continue to be gritted through the night until road surface temperatures reach above freezing point.

Its chief forecaster said it is expected to be a cold and frosty start on Tuesday, albeit sunny, before turning cloudy later in the day.

He said early indications show the possibility of snowfall on Wednesday evening and overnight into Thursday.
