MOTORISTS are heeding warnings and driving with care on the county's ice-ridden roads this morning, it has been claimed.
Despite freezing temperatures overnight and snow showers sweeping across the county from Norfolk, no serious accidents have been reported so far today.
Louise Rosher, spokeswoman for Suffolk Police, said: “The weather conditions are still causing disruption around the county although we haven't had any significant issues on the roads.
“It appears people are exercising common sense and seem to be driving to the conditions.
“We would encourage that to continue.”
But there have been minor collisions as frozen roads cause problems for drivers on their way to work.
