the roads around ecclesfield had been gritted. unfortunately grit isnt a wonder material that stops snow from settling. it's main purpose is to stop ice from forming.

It's the end of the world

Was it? I read nothing in the newspapers about it, either yesterday or today.

AND it's relatively mild now.

It's like an ice rink on the new paths. In fact this is the worst I have seen it. Sheet black ice all over stannington.

Treacherous here in Walkley, our street is like the Cresta Run.

Yep, so was my road. First thing I saw when I emerged this morning was someone slipping on the road then another neighbour sliding his car into a wall.

 

I went back for my grippers and they were surprisingly effective.
