We got some, roads a pain for hours. Got stuck 4 times but no idea why it wasn't the worse snow we've had but then it rained in the early hours which made things easier. Loads of control going backwards but none going forwards :?

next to nothing here, but 3 miles up the road was gridlocked because of less than 1" of slush. #-o

I happened at 5-6pm all roads in and around Falkirk town centre turned into a car park almost instantly.

of course it was all the fault of the council who didn't have gritters out :roll: even though they wouldn't have been able to operate, due to traffic :?

not the dafties who saw the early morning snow, heard the weather reports of more to come, but took their cars into town anyway #-o

you couldn't make it up :badgrin:

It snowed all day here, but roads where clear, until 1.30 AM when it came down really heavy, for an hour, but gritters came out and soon cleared it, by 3.00 AM all roads clear

Heavy rain for around 5 hours - so Cardiff is more or less clear. The suburbs and side roads are also nearly back to normal. Out of the City the roads are clear, but the pavements are treacherous. More rain on the way for most parts around here.......yippee
