There was 8 inches of snow here which is no big problem in itself.
The problem is when it is compacted and freezes, or when it goes to
slush and then freezes. At the moment the road at the bottom of mine
has a few cars that have hit the pavements due to ice. One car was
parked at 90degrees to the pavement after being hit near a junction.
There are lots of problems caused by weather conditions. Maybe when
the children moaning are old enough to have a driving licence they will
appreciate how difficult it is to drive on ice. Try driving when snow
has fallen on previously compacted snowthat has frozen over!
Local councils are penny pinching and not gritting despite warnings, so
this has also added to problems. Fortunately I can get to work without
using the car, the same for local shops.
I did try and drive earlier on today but found the car slipping too much
so left it. People in 4x4 vehicles did think they were OK, so I filmed a
few
of them sliding about and going out of control.
One car had small chains fitted to the tyres and that couldn't get up a
hill.

I do. That's why I know what I'm talking about.

It's in the South East, which means it's real as far as the media is
concerned.
