Same here mate, a combination of a [edited by admin] system and snow it's enough to make anyone go in for the night.

I woke up to a light dusting of snow on Friday morning and frozen lakes it all looks very pretty. Then I tried to leave via the lanes to the M6 and that was scary cos they were frozen over in the sub zero temp of -3. It took me a lot longer to get to the motorway but once on it I haven' seen any snow. Where I work it's quite warm compared to what they say we are going to get at 3 degrees so work was as usual full of dead heads in next to nothing on :roll:

You know it's icy when you see a gritter slide past you.
