GRITTERS are getting ready to hit Buckinghamshire roads tonight as temperatures drop.
The fleet of orange and yellow council gritters will be out tonight across the county.
The maintenance trucks are expected to start gritting from 7pm as road surface temperatures are expected to drop to below zero tonight, Buckinghamshire Council warned.
Colder weather is expected to continue in Buckinghamshire during next week, with daytime temperatures hitting as low as -3C.

However, snow forecast looks uncertain in the South East and London at least, while coastal areas in the north of the country could see some snowflakes.
Eagle-eyed residents might spot funny names on written on each council gritter as they release crushed rock salt onto the most used and priority roads to help melt ice.
Gritter names include Ice Ice Baby, Salt Disney, Sid, Snow Shark, Puffin and Rockhopper.
