A separate alert of icy conditions has been issued for the western half of East Yorkshire as rain and sleet freezes on untreated surfaces.
Temperatures will drop to -2C over the next 24 hours, but it will feel as cold as -6C.
Hull City Council said today it was preparing to grit roads and "priority" footpaths from 6pm tonight.
Councillor Martin Mancey, portfolio holder for environment and transport, said: "The safety of drivers, pedestrians and residents is a top priority for us and when the adverse weather hits over the next couple of days, we have a committed and dedicated team that work 24/7 to ensure the main traffic routes, pedestrian and shopping areas are as clear and as safe as possible."
East Riding Council said this evening it was preparing to salt its main road network.
• Pocklington Infant School is closed today because its heating has broken.
• Motorists warned of icy conditions

Think again!
The day after my comment was posted the whole of the Withernsea rail path was gritted from Somerden Rd to Estcourt Street. Well done KHCC.”

“ALL footpaths and roads should be treated, we all pay council tax and deserve to be able to travel and walk in safety, the excess cost to the NHS alone in broken bones would cover it and if not enough manpower what about the people on the dole/benefits, they could be made to earn their benefit for the good of all.”

“Yep it looks like the car's just outside the Park Entrance down Pearson Ave facing east towards Beverly Road. The old Dorchester Hotel (think that's what it was called) is on the left where the trees are... now a demolition site.”

“The Picture is not of Pearson park - however. First reader to spot where it was actually taken gets a Hull Daily Mail award for factual reporting.”

“What about the safety of cyclists? - all of the ex rail lines I use were sheet ice this morning - do we not matter?”
