There are a couple of spots that are shaded by trees - we are in the middle of a forest here. There isn't normally snow on the road at all, mainly for that reason. There's about two inches lying on untouched ground. It's well packed down on the road now because there's an unusually high proportion of Land Rover owners around here.

You can't really tell from the photo, but that's quite a steep slope heading down from our house, and just beyond the picture there's a sharp turn in front of a very steep gully. I wouldn't chance it personally. Several people did last night, and the local farmers are busy this morning removing cars from ditches at several trouble spots between here and where the gritted road begins.

The road is officially closed off by the police a few miles back towards civilisation from here.
