Yes we have the white fluffy stuff!

Seems it costs too much to grit our local roads though!

Veritable blizzard on the M1 in Nottinghamshire this morning. The only place where it's not snowing on my 70 mile journey home is the area where I live. Clear skies here frown

Yep... they forgot in Lancaster too it seems !! Looked wet out the window this morning but was infact very icy. Slowly drove down my street and still had the ABS kick in for the last few feet. Saw two people de-icing their windscreens with a hot kettle !! eek And while I was in the field walking my dogs a motorcyclist came off his bike ! frown

All in all not the best morning. The main roads were ok, so I took a longer but safer route home.

Be careful out there !!

The roads are scarily slippy around here. However, the pavements are even slippier as all the kids who got off the school bus in front of me found out hehe
