RMK: I would describe conditions as extreme this morning. There's
a glaze of ice on all surfaces, probably with the exception of salted
roads and pavements. I took a couple of steps out of our back door
and decided that it wasn't very clever at all. It's exceptionally slippery.
I think there might be a few broken bones this morning. It should only
be a short-lived problem, though, as the temp is rising steadily and
looks like it'll soon be above zero.

0900z ESE F3-4 0100 -FZDZ FZFG VV/// +00.9/+00.9 987
RMK: Although the air temp has now gone above zero all surfaces
are still below zero and the drizzle and fog continue to freeze on impact.
It's extremely slippery and, judging by the antics of the people trying to
negotiate their way along the road, walking is a very hazardous business.
