Came out of my apartment in Harrogate this morning, put my foot on the top step and the next thing I know I'm flat on my back on the path, 3 steps below... it hurts.
The car looked like a ball of solid ice.
Same story here in Leeds. Thought our private parking area was just wet with rain, same for the car, but it's all 2mm solid ice. The car looked like a ball of solid ice.

Yeah im in Leeds, it think its worse up here.i saw some guy gritting the street outside his house so someone didnt crash into his pride and joy Focus ST.
it made me laugh, he was up at 7.30 doing that.
quite mild here.. just wet and grey.
No traction at a slightly up hill junction on the way to work. Spinning the inside wheel quite easily pulling out of there... Thats when I know its slippy because I have a Honda and normally it wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding, let alone break traction.

Raining here, on an otherwise fantastic day in paradise 
Interestingly the radio is full of reports of halfwits crashing on the ice as rain is falling on frozen/cold ground this morning, who'd have guessed the rain might freeze on the cold ground.
....Darwinism at work again.
its the same people that say, i dont need to de-ice ALL of of my front window, just the half i see out of.Interestingly the radio is full of reports of halfwits crashing on the ice as rain is falling on frozen/cold ground this morning, who'd have guessed the rain might freeze on the cold ground.

Yet again Evolution waiting to happen.
Good run this morning - motorway was slow and steady. It seems everyone had the same careful idea. Everyone except one BMW who, at the point where lane 1 becomes an off-ramp, he sped up in lane 2, headed to lane 3, to get past a lorry, then swerved in front of lorry from lane 3, to 2 and by this time lane one was an offramp so drove over a huge portion of white zig-zags back into lane 1 just missing the barriers.
Those zig-zags could well have been uber-icey, so luck was on his side as he was tonking by that point. Buffoon.
Council car park is also a total ice rink, but steady as you go and all was well (lesson learnt from last week
)!
Drive safely peeps - looks wet, often is ice.

It was a balmy 9 degrees on the way in to work this morning, pissing down with rain though. It's been raining since about 3 o'clock this morning and all the drains have been overwhelmed by it, more flooding on the way by the looks of it!
