It's because most people don't have a clue how to drive in the snow. So they wheel spin, and turn it to ice. Then the roads turn into a death trap.
This morning was ok, because there was very little traffic on the road. So the snow had time to melt rather than being packed down hard.
I gave myself an hour and a half to get to work this morning, but it only took half an hour, including a stop at the garage.

What's the weather / roads like up there now?
I see that Church Fenton (12 miles away) have reported 6 inches of snow up there! |
Just spoke to my brother in Halifax, and he said there is only about 2 or 3 inches up there.
