PCSO Patrick Welby-Everard covers the Sleaford Rural South beat and was in the Caythorpe area contending with drifting snow and treacherous roads when he recorded this dashcam footage.

Lincolnshire Police’s latest message for today (Friday) remains the same - only travel if absolutely necessary. If you are out on the roads don not trust that seemingly clear road - it could be black ice.

You are also urged to check on the welfare of your neighbours and only to use 999 for medical emergencies’
