Over the last 3 days my drive has developed its own mini glacier, half a bag of dishwasher salt did the trick.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
No sign of the gritters even on the main roads down here!
However, I am comforted by the fact that we have no hole in the gold-plated Local Council Pension Pot!! And all the single mums have a place of their own for Xmas!
Whole chuffing place is like an Ice Rink. Fortunately I have a gas-guzzling 4x4 with a fuel card so can sneer at the yokels as they slither around the place, but even so!

My folks live on the edge of Dartmoor. It seems like you need similar winter precautions for your neck of the woods...
You'd probably be alright with snow socks which you can also drive (sensibly) on cleared roads."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Just put my snow chains and a folding spade in the car. Just in case
Not really chains, They are more a rubber chain which gives an extremely meaty tread. apparently you can drive up to 50mph on them! something I wouldn't like to try though.
Only ever used them once, and that was on mud, getting my touring caravan out of a campsite. they worked extremely well then but are a sod to fit.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment

Driving through Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire . The main roads were clear of snow and ice but there were too many muppets driving. Some were doing 30mph on the dual carriageways, white van drivers pulling out without looking and Volvo Estates full to the brim with shopping and the drivers thinking that they are the only one’s on the road plus loads of accidents. I was so pissed off I decide to go cross country. The roads were packed with ice, snow covered but with few cars it worked out much quicker and I saw no accidents."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

I was thinking of getting a 4x4 just to cope with the speed bumps and potholes in Islington. Nowdays, I cant tell the difference between the two.
Seriously, my father-in-law has been snowed in, 30 miles away in Luton.
He's 84 and cant walk on the snow or ice. Luckily his neighbour got him some food. There's been no rubbish collection or post for days.
Luton council have been very slack in gritting roads. They didnt even bother to grit the road to the airport, so passengers were walking with their cases.
I put it down to pure laziness on the part of council workers and the dreaded 'ealth and safety excuse.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -
