Ice to bring danger to roads in fresh wave of severe weather The warnings come as a businesswoman, Mandy Reed, was found dead in freezing conditions in a snowy garden near her home. Champion cheese-maker Mandy Reed's body was discovered in the village of Scorton, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, near Richmond, after a night out. She is one of three people who have died in sub-zero, icy conditions in the north of England this week. Mother-of-two Mrs Reed, 47, was found dead in a garden in the early hours of Sunday morning. North Yorkshire Police are investigating the circumstances. A spokesman said today it had still not been established exactly how she died. Mrs Reed ran the Richmond-based Swaledale Cheese Company for 25 years after starting it with her husband David in 1987. Mr Reed died in 2005 aged 46.
