RMK: Extensive middle and high cloud all day. The Sc has
arrived fron NNE during the past hour. No thaw today so
there's still 19 cm lying snow. Max temp -0.7 so we're
on course for the first 09z-09z 'ice day' for almost two
years. The last one was on 24th March 2013. Still a lot of
hours till 0900z tomorrow, though. Walking in the village
has become very hazardous today with lots of rock-hard
frozen slush several centimetres thick.

You need YakTrax! They're perfect for walking on compacted icy surfaces.

Use them a lot but they're not so handy when there's a mix of cleared tarmac
alternating with frozen slush.
