It didn't snow as much in the capital region last night as was expected, as temperatures were slightly above freezing. As a result, most main roads and slip roads are clear, as are many residential streets. Work will continue throughout the morning to clear residential streets that are not yet passable, particularly in the upper districts and in some areas. Those intending to drive are asked to assess their vehicle's suitability and the local conditions, and to avoid setting off if the going is particularly difficult.
Drive carefully and remember to scrape properly and have all your lights on!
