It is sheet ice outside my door, and somehow I have to get to work! 
Hopefully by the time I set off it will have begun to clear, but the looks of that weather out there it is not looking likely. 
We were on GM TV yesterday morning, our claim to fame being the worst hit town in West Yorkshire, no buses and the roads were unusable, erm not really, didnt seem to stop everyone using them! It was take your life in your hands if you went out before 9am, cars were sliding all over and it was much safer to walk.
How soft have we got!? This used to be the norm for November and December, the snow we had yesterday would have been laughed at, classed as nothing, just a little shower, now it brings us to a standstill, people not turning in to work, people going home early because it started snowing again, while those that could walk, no matter how far, were left to keep the place running! Snow in England in the winter is normal, why on earth are the councils not prepared for it? Just because we have had several winters where the snow has passed us by does not mean we are never going to get it again.
It is apparently not cost efficient to grit the roads before it snows or before they freeze
Despite being told it was coming, so the whole town came to a standstill for a couple of hours, it may be the same again today as we still have no gritters out and the place is frozen over, we could become known as Ice town, that would make a change 
Mind you the people are just as bad, watching two little old ladies trying to get down the road in shoes with heels on that were obviously made for better weather, its a wonder they didnt break something!!
Wellies out ladies, oh sorry, it doesn't go with the outfit!
Ah well, the promise of more snow to come will keep the children happy at least, thats if it actually gets here you know what happens when they predict we are going to get it
Right off to get some Breccy and a nice warm drink, before having to go and find some way of making that path passable, catch you later
