The ever-changing BBC Weather seems to indicate that tonight will not be freezing in this area so perhaps (I'm no Michael Fish) we may 'only' be dealing with slush. Still very slippery stuff.
If anyone sees any random piles of grit.. please think of those on the pavements who are walking and have no four-wheel rubber grip on their two legs. I will certainly be spreading the joy if i see it.

On a brighter note, I traversed South Road again today and saw that the random pile of grit had been spread about..thank you. Whoever that was, it made my, and others, journey to get milk a lot less fraught.
