@selfheal It's not certain it will, we're getting mixed reports. Best to keep an eye on the Met Office website. Roads will be salted though.- @LucyCorrander We'll do a special snow dance just for you.
- Dorset could have snow, sleet or heavy rain tonight. Gritters will be out at 7pm and will be ready to go out, if needed, at 4am
- There won't be any gritter action tonight. Temperatures will drop below freezing but there's enough salt on the roads
