for a time it was of moderate intensity - though no appreciable effect
on surface; snow now thawing rapidly on hard/paved surfaces - which are
damp - and thawing steadily over grass. Cu mainly fractus, but isol Med

.... 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.

I heard that only 4 teachers could manage to get to the school so
decision as to whether children should go to the school was left to
parents. Also heard that Bracknell Council hadn't bothered to salt the
roads - but what's new about that?

... not sure which school you are talking about, but both Wooden Hill
Primary and Easthampstead Secondary closed - the former was closed 'by
management' I believe (not sure about latter): lots of disgruntled
parents coming back down past us after struggling through 2 cm of lying
snow to get there!
