Kent commuters faced a slushy journey to work this morning.

Although no more snow has fallen, much of the white stuff has now frozen over, making small, untreated raods very slippery.

All major roads have been treated and are now fairly clear of snow.

Despite major disruption on the rail network yesterday, trains in Kent seem to be running well this morning.

Most schools in the county are also open as normal but there are nearly 20 schools shut or part shut throughout Kent and Medway.

The bone-chilling weekend threw parts of Kent into turmoil.

On Saturday in Tunbridge Wells, a girl had to be rescued from a frozen lake.

The 11-year-old had walked across the lake onto a duck island at Grosvenor Park in St James Road at 2.30pm , before the ice started to crack.

Fire crews wearing dry suits got onto the island using water safety equipment and carried the girl back to safety.

The girl wasn't hurt, but firefighters issued a warning to others.

A spokesman said: "While ice can appear thick enough to support a person's weight, it can give way very easily.

"This girl was very lucky, as the water is extremely cold and if she had fallen through the ice the consequences could have been tragic."

On Arriva buses this morning, a normal service had resumed, apart from in Maidstone, where an update was expected, and in Sheppey and Sittingbourne.

Services there are running normally except for the 349 service, which is terminating at Oak Road in Murston as it is unable to reach Great Easthall, and Service 360 is unable to serve Rushenden Ferry View.
