Those are the days to be careful of black ice. Be safe out there.

YES....

That is how I broke my wrist a few years ago.

It was February and there was just a tiny bit of snow coming down when I went out in the late afternoon, so I didn't worry about it.
The snow melted fairly quickly, but then when it cooled off in the early evening it froze into a thin layer of very slippery ice.

Had several days of frosty and sunny weather here. -3/-4C overnight and +1/+2C max in the day. Luckily the day before it started we managed to NOT have any rain so not much ice about. I can also walk across the local fields without sinking ankle deep into the mud!

First snow of year yesterday. We only had a couple of inches but a bit further south they in Cumbria they had blocked roads (including the motorway) and chaos reigned. The problem seems to be that a lot of the HGV drivers haven't mastered driving in snow and jack-knife their lorries, blocking the road until breakdown vehicles can work their way in. Thawing now though so just hope the roads are cleared before the next frost.

It stayed above freezing last night so the pretty frost has gone. A few icy patches, I think it rained a bit overnight. Depending on which weather forecast you look at there might be sleet overnight or ice in the morning.

A couple of my friends are in Coniston (in Cumbria) for the weekend, they drove up before the weather turned nasty and are now snowed in at a pub so not doing too bad!

Snowed in at a pub in Coniston, that sounds like the making of a movie. But is it a romance or a mystery?

Our big rain has so far amounted to 2/10 of an inch (.5 cm).
Randi, I've been worrying about you and that big storm headed your way. I saw many are without power and lots of water. Are you far enough inland to have missed it?
