Default Black ice and collisions. Godalming, Surrey



Frost - and ice forming on car - observed about 1700

2120 2 duplicate single vehicle accidents behind the house. Both cars
failed to negotiate roundabout. The first came to rest further from it
than the second. Thought to be one minor injury.

Slight rain freezing on surfaces. Ever tried holding on to a telephone
cabinet for support? Just as icy as the ground.

MetO forecast for Guildford :

Icons for cloud only
2deg C for 1800
5deg C for 2100

To be taken with a pinch of salt, but the words got it right:

Tonight:

Mostly dry with clear spells. Some showery rain developing in northern
and western areas overnight along with freshening winds. Local frost at
first but temperatures lifting later. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

The ice had melted by 2330.

As others have said, read the words.
