DRIVERS and railway passengers are being warned to prepare for a frosty start this morning.
Met Office forecasters predicted Sunday night would be one of the coldest nights of the festive season after issuing a weather warning on Friday evening and police are urging motorists to take sensible steps before hitting the roads on Monday morning.
Council gritting crews covered the main routes overnight, but many minor roads in the county remain untreated - particularly in the Lincolnshire Wolds and in rural areas.
"Due to the freezing temperatures, there are still large amounts of ice on Lincolnshire's roads," Lincolnshire Police's roads policing unit has tweeted.
"So please reduce your speed, drive according to the conditions - and stay on the road."
Meanwhile, rail passengers heading out of North East Lincolnshire towards London are being advised by East Coast Trains to check timetables following the chaos yesterday at Kings Cross and Finsbury Park caused by over-running engineering work.
East Coast Trains are running some services into the capital today, but they could be delayed.
