Hazardous conditions

[innocent_lex]

I braved the snow this morning to get crucial supplies and physio. Only had a few problems with not stopping and not going in the direction I was hoping for, but the car did okay. So all's well, and I'm not planning on going out the rest of today or tomorrow. But we only have a little bit of snow here - an inch or two, that's actually starting to melt so I guess it must be above freezing here at last. In a lot of places around the country there seems to be a couple of feet. Lots of people I work with have had real trouble, and are basically stuck at home now. Airports are closed, trains cancelled, roads closed, yadda yadda. I don't know when this snow is meant to go away, but the Met Office are talking about it being very cold and 'wintry showers' going on and on.

I do wonder if this is it now for the winter. It's started and it'll finish sometime around March.
