Came up there this morning back of 10 ish roads were fine slippy in patches nothing major though

Just take your time and dont rush it and you'll be fine barring a massive dumping of the white stuff

Went out from thurso to just this sideo f watten yesterday about 4pm, saw one plough/gritter his plough was just polishing the road surface ice and no grit or salt or whatever coming from the back of him, 35mph was all i was happy doing and i could still feel the odd slip :(

How is it today? We need to get out to Wick to collect an order from Boots, but dont really want to risk it if it is still bad?!

Not sure about the Watten road but the road via castletown is fine, if that helps. A couple of white patches but nothing major.

Excellent, thanks. Might venture out this afternoon then, if not will be tomorrow for definite.
