The school run was a nightmare this morning. Yesterday's snowfall has frozen hard onto the road, the first three miles of which are ungritted, winding and hilly. We got about a mile and a half and then met a lorry stuck on the same slope where missus rolled a car in icy conditions a few years ago. Waited 20 minutes for the driver to shovel out some salt from one of the piles the council leaves out here for us, then we were on our way. It's still pretty hairy now though, and unless the temperature lifts and stays up it will be horrible again tonight. All the worst bits are under tree cover so don't get much direct sunlight on them at any time of day.
