Devon and Cornwall Police say there have been 25 accidents, and are advising drivers to take care.

Take care on the roads@CornwallLive @BBCCornwall @HeartCornNews @piratefm @INRIXtraffic_SW
There have been several accidents on the A30, Cornwall's largest road.
Some people have been unable to leave their housing estates as the roads are too slippery.
Cornwall Council sent extra gritters out through the night, and they are continuing to be deployed in an effort to clear the roads
