MOTORISTS are urged to take extra care if heading out in the north of Gwent today, as freezing temperatures are likely to make travelling more tricky.
In Ebbw Vale, and other places along the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, there is already a dusting of snow.
In these upland areas, the temperature is not forecast to climb above freezing for the whole of the day.
This means there is a chance of ice forming, especially on the roads.
