Ice and slippery roads throughout Denmark this morning

Cold, clear and frosty night increasing the risk of you taking a tumble

Feb 15, 2017

After another night with clear weather and widespread frost, roads, pavements, staircases and pretty much every highway and byway could be covered with a thin sheet of ice this morning.

The clear weather sent overnight temperatures plunging to – 8.1 degrees in some places.

Patchy frozen mist and refreezing melting snow will combine to make things even more treacherous.

Slippery again tonight
Once the sun comes up, today will be a very nice and sunny day, with temperatures reaching between 2 and 7 degrees in the afternoon.

However, the slippery roads will return again this evening when temperatures once again dip below freezing.
