Heavy snow showers forecast for south west...with some hail, thunder and lightning!
That was my perception in Bristol.
It's amazing how it seems like much of the effort has gone into clearing main routes but very little effort at all at any clearance on pavements. Tower Hamlets at least have road sweepers out putting some grit down whereas Hackney has clear main roads and everything else all iced up, the paths to the local school, the park, the elderly resource centre up the road for the crumblies!!!
dunno but i cleared the path outside ours yesterday. would be a good idea if people were encouraged to do similar things though.
Thats the problem,sometimes you have to move further out into the road to avoid patches of ice and black slushey snow.Cycled to work and back today, again using main roads instead of the cycle path. Not so fun - most of the road has been cleared but there's some ice that creeps out from the curb, and there are too many inconsiderate motorists getting too close. I was aware on quite a few occasions that if a rogue patch of ice was to make me slip I would have gone right under the bus behind who wasn't giving me enough space. Twice I had to slam on the brakes for vehicles overtaking then pulling infront of me
