Some parts of the county could see temperatures at -3 degrees this weekend.
As temperatures here in Rutland plumet below zero a warm bank is announcing extended opening hours.
A yellow weather warning for ice comes into place today across much of the UK today.
Rutland is due to see temperatures of -1 degrees today, reaching -3 at the weekend.
In light of that, Ryhall Library will now be open for three days a week to help those of us worried about turning the heating on.
It’s now open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday, 10-4.
Charlotte Davis launched Ryhall Warm Welcome Spaces. She said:
“When we unlocked this morning there was still ice on the paths at 10am, it is really cold out there.
“So I anticipate that more people will want to come. We were worried no-one would come. That’s not happened at all.
“We’ve never had a day so far where no one has come. The least we’ve had in a day is 6, the most we’ve had is 12. We’re a village, to me that’s incredible.”
