... 0950Z update ... very light snow; roads are not bad really, even
our local untreated road is perfectly fine if care is taken, and
certainly the treated roads look OK; I think the 'chaos' is due to
people not being used to the conditions rather than the weight of
snow, but as mentioned in an earlier [WR] thread, I suspect that snow
has fallen over earlier ice/melted-refrozen snow and it is *this* that
has caused what are obviously major problems locally.

.... 1030Z; the odd flake - heat coming up from road/paving now opening
up lengthy clear/black stretches, despite the air temperature being just
below 0degC.

Martin.
