We've had temperatures near +4 for about 48 hours, so the snow is going fast. I walked downtown this morning, and lots of sidewalks had lumpy slush, as do some streets. Sidewalks in front of houses where people shoveled were clear, so you immediately tell which owners were diligent about shoveling and those where weren't. Yesterday morning there were 12 cm of snow on the ground. It was down to seven cm this morning, and now I see patches of grass in places.

Because Kidlington is deemed a village the Council (right up in Banbury) doesn't salt anything but the main Oxford Road and the Bicester Road, not even the High Street gets done. And our road is never done and is in the shade of the houses so is the slowest to thaw
At least my block does its own paths

I have an especially tough and deep brush - no snow can withstand it. (Kidlington-we-don't-get-weather's idea of snow is about 4" on a bad day
)

The lethal bit of road near me is the service road to the side of my house which I use with the car. It gets next to no sun in the winter and, since the cars drive up and down, it gets rather like a skating rink. Thank heavens the Council now collect my wheelie bins because getting one of those down to the road for the bin lorry (it won't fit down our service road) used to be a nightmare if we had snow or black ice from heavy rain followed by frost. There is only 1 house where the inhabitants are over 16 and under 60 (a single mum with a 17 year old son). It isn't too bad to drive on but lethal on foot. THe worst is packed snow, half melted and re-frozen over night.

Rain and a temperature of 5C are in the process of washing away the snow.

Our snow has gone, other than in a few places where it was piled up.

I knocked out the hinge pins on my bedroom door (1 at a time) , greased them and put them back. Now the door will not stay open.
Cleaned away the grease and no change still closing on its own.

Having just posted a hot one here is a cooler one. Walked out after posting previous to see this on the way.
Nice to cool down a bit.
The big downpour is due tonight with Severe Thunderstorm and Large hail warnings out.
Well that was a fizz, we only got 1/2 inch over 1/2hr out of it.
