Fuckin icey isn't it ? :? It rained during the night, the result was a glass like sheet of ice over everything.
Couldn't go anywhere today, would have broke my neck (dont cheer).

Yes, it's feckin treacherous out! Nearly went on my arse a good few times on the (usually 5 minute) 20 minute trek to my doctors surgery. I took to walking on the roads which were slightly less glacial. :evil: Phoned my Granny and told her not to go out today. She has deep snow out her way (Kirky) so was already considering staying in.

I nearly crashed my car this morning. Lost control on ice and ended up going through oncoming traffic onto the pavement on the wrong side of the road. I came to a stop parallel with a garden wall with inches to spare.

Not a mark on the car but the stains on the seat will take some time to clean. :)

Just phoned the cooncil and told them to get their arses in gear and get some grit out there. Last year you couldn't move for gritters but I haven't seen any at all this autumn.
