Do you live in the South East?
If East Anglia (Bedfordshire) counts then I got to and from work safely. I think this was more luck then anything else, I won't be doing it tomorrow when it's all frozen over though.

If you do attempt to go by bike tomorrow Badger, do us a favour, keep it rubber side down and be careful.
Looking out on the roads we had a slush covered road which a thin layer of fresh snow has fell on. I'm guessing the slush will all freeze underneath which will make the oh so innocent soft snow quite the opposite.

It`s actually turned to rain here now so it`s bound to freeze overnight then dust snow on top of it ............ I think I may call in a favour and book a day off , or just see what it`s like and risk it

I went in today on the bike. I was at home till midday though, was far too icy.

Spent some time making a single track up the road between the houses for my bike. Got out ok after that.

Car drivers shouls be thankful, at least they will have 1 side of the car with traction now
