Road treatments scheduled for today and tomorrow morning.

Treatment on high routes this evening due overnight forecast of snow at levels dropping to approx 250 metres above sea level. In east and south Moray there's a risk that prolonged rain may wash off salt before onset of predicted wintry conditions, so further treatment is planned in morning for all very high and high routes as detailed.
