    Over the last 3 days my drive has developed its own mini glacier, half a bag of dishwasher salt did the trick.
    I'm short on salt whatever I had left I emptied at the top of the drive, so I have 5 ft clear and 25ft not.

    They do. I live well outside the M25 and have had them deliver.
    OK - they have expanded, but not to my postcode. But this info is useful, it shows I CAN walk back....

    Shop for groceries in branch:
    Step 1 Book a delivery slot
    Step 2 Shop and pay in branch
    Step 3 Leave your bags at the checkout
    Step 4 We'll deliver to your door
    Minimum order? You can use this service for orders of any value
    Costs £5 for delivery of orders less than £50
    £3 for delivery of orders over £50
    Only problem is, it doesn't say where you book the delivery slot in the first place????

    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.
    Snow socks? WTF are snow socks? Oh do you mean these? - are they any good? Do you need to take them off again once you reach a gritted road?
