"Don't be fooled by positive temperatures" says roads team

"But cold, icy, snowy conditions are forecast to return this afternoon, so treatment anticipated from mid-morning."
In the outlying area aroundd the Highland capital the news was of wet roads with positive temperatures and "No known issues."
