Traffic was beginning to build up in South Norfolk this morning (Wednesday) as commuters struggled into work on ice-covered roads.
An afternoon snow-fall yesterday (Tuesday) saw many people leave work and school early, but freezing temperatures quickly turned the powder into sheets of ice.
Many reported journeys which took two or three times longer than normal, with some sat in their cars for hours.
This morning (Wednesday) there were reports of heavy traffic between Scole and Diss, heading towards the roundabout with the A143.
Surrounding roads were also slower than usual as motorists drove with caution.
Norfolk police have said roads throughout Norfolk remain treacherous but all major routes in Norfolk currently remain passable with extreme care.
