Default Glazed roads and pavements

Hello All,

I'm surprised to see that Birmingham airport is still at 3ฐC @ 18.50 and
Shawbury at 2ฐC @ 19.00.

When in my area of Wolverhampton it's been at 0ฐC since 18.00. The
roads and pavements have glazed over, and it's tricky walking let alone
driving.

I don't know if it as anything to do with that I'm on one of the highest
hills in my local area, at about 170m, and that I'm on the very edge of
the city, I only have to walk about 100 yds from my home and I'm in the
Staffordshire countryside.

Joe
Wolverhampton

Yes, I just popped out to the shop (2100) and was also surprised by
the tricky nature of the pavements. We've had light rain most of the
day, but the sky has now cleared - temp +1.5C and falling.

Similar story here Paul/Joe.
Black ice on all untreated surfaces this evening and freezing rain on some
surfaces today.
Temp at -1บC.

Hmm, sounds like my old home in Penn. Anywhere near?

In weather terms, I did take some photos of mammatus cloud there, but that
was many unmarked boxes of slides ago :-(
