Decent snow here, but the roads were pretty much clean by mid morning. Least it isn't affecting travel too much, even though I'm off today. Into town later for Madness and the trains are running weird, so I might have to hop to Morden for the Northern line instead...Lie with passion and be forever damned...

Only about 2 to 3 inches of snow in NW London yesterday but what was bad was the pavements. Local council had only done the main roads and the pavement outside the Civic Centre of course. Everywhere else was like a skating rink; snow with ice underneath and during the day it was so cold the compacted snow turned to ice as the top melted in the sun.
Worst was the apparently clear areas where the sun had melted the snow completely but literally an hour later the water was re-frozen as black ice. I nearly went AoT a dozen times walking back home with my heavy supermarket shop.
Last time it was icy like this here was Dec/Jan 2000/1.Last edited by fallenangle; 19-12-2009, 11:20.

Here in northern Italy started to snow yesterday at noon and continued until late night.
It was a good chance to test the new snow tires, but I don't understand people without proper equipment going around in their cars or why everyone seem to forget that there are rules to follow on the road.
Now main roads are clean and due to the Christmas frenzy pretty much every road can be used with a bit of prudence.
Forecasts warn about heavy snowfalls on Monday night/Tuesday morning though, maybe I'll start holidays early

Winter nightmare here. Just had to run down the lane in between snow drifts, to get to the wife and kids, stuck in the car on the hill. Bit of work with the spade, some adjustments to ESP and plenty of swearing later I managed to get to the house. Then I had to dig a path to the drive and managed to get up to the car port on my second try. Phew!
My first year with winter tyres "Without studs".

Wood fire's on now, and time for a medicinal brandy.
