Early start on Friday morning for road gritting crews
Assume no road is ice-free
It's yet another early start for the hardy Donegal County Council road gritting crew on Friday morning as they look forward to a 5am start to their day.
They've had a tough week trying to cover as many of the icy roads as possible. Hopefully improving weather conditions will make a breakthrough and the ice will be a memory.

Met Éireann has forecast that any fog will be slow to clear across inland areas on Friday. Otherwise a dry and sunny day. Less cold than recent days with highest values of 4 to 7 degrees, in light south-east breezes.
As usual, assume that no road is ice-free.
