Anyone else wake up to this?

Drove down to NEC this AM to see the classic show, checked BBC weather at 6.15 am before left and was clear skys and 4c. Saw warning sign at Larkhall on M74 of sever snow and thought was a joke! 5 miles south was a whiteout at 640am and continued for 20 miles going down to 30 mph in the 4WD Passat! 6'' of snow, no snow ploughs for 20 miles, one lane open and going port or starboard as was so slippy! Nearly turned back until AA reassured us was no snow in pennines!

By the time I got to Abington, I was honestly considering turning back, as the road was lethal and the roads department hadn't yet bothered their @rse getting the gritters and ploughs out. Not fun at all.
Going to be a fun few months at this rate alright.
