Default Horrendous Weather

Blimey! I went to bed last night and it was heavily hail storming. Woke up this morning at 5.30 for my morning run and opened curtains..........
.
.
.
.
TOTAL WHITE OUT! Snow everywhere, about 2 inches deep. I knocked the run on the head and instead did some work on a presentation i've got to give in Birmingham next week.

Called a taxi and he arrived about 7.30. Well. The council's gonna be slated for it massively as they didnt grit last night, and the hailstone had frozen, then it snowed, heavily. So we've got 2 inches of snow underneath which is black ice! Lovely!

Saw so many accidents on the drive to work, fender benders - people driving too close to the car in front. Unbeleiveable.

Whats the weather like where you are today?

At the moment the sun is shining but there is still snow bones. It seens like its been like this for week, either snowing, frozen slush or snow bones. Its getting frustrating as I bought my first bike at the start of this cold spell and I'm dying to get out on it. It's given coming warmer next week. Hopefully its the start of spring and some warmer weather!

Very little snow here, light flurry every so often.
Roads are an inch deep in grit though
