I left work at 8 tonight and gave my windscreen a squirt before I left then watched as it rapidly froze spreading ice 'feathers' across the glass. Pretty but bloody annoying.

How did you still have washer fluid unfrozen? Mine is mixed at 50% and remained frozen after driving from Chester to Lancaster(and back)yesterday, I think a fuse must have blown after trying it when I was nearly there.

Some f**king c**ting w*nkers in this world. I have been clearing the paths for a couple of old folk, and last night I walked down to our nearest Grit Bin, about 2 miles round trip. When I got there some guy was loading all the grit in the back of his car and there was none left. I called him a selfish c**t blah blah blah, but he said he needed it for his shop area, just down the road.

This f**king morning just passed the shop halfway down the road and this said w*nker is selling the rock salt at £5.50 (less than a small carrier full). I went spare, and I have rang the council to complain. Not alot they can do but I also rang the community bobby

Nice to see community alive and well in this weather

Did you report him?

Reason I ask is that an identical 'crime' has just been reported on 5live..

I've been walking irresponsibly quickly on the ice to and from work, I enjoy the challenge. My reactions are pretty quick so I'm not too worried, and I like overtaking people who walk as if the pavement is about to collapse.

Seems people are now heading back to work in the North West... Motorways where more busy this morning...

It was forcast to actually get above freezing here today, but it was only -5 at 9:30 and there's snow apparently spontaneously precipitating out of clear air.

Well on our local news it is being said that Derby has a days worth or grit left and that is it, no new supplies has been coming through. Not good

[smog]

heh I was listening to BBC Tees last night and they said the local council had sold a lot of their grit to Leeds...the phonelines went mental

Still a crap level of snowfall here in Stoke. Looking at a job in Lancaster at the moment so this had better happen again next year or Im off to Alaska!

Searching out the wristguards today though cos our homemade private piste was getting nicely compacted yesterday ready for Day 3 of the Heathfield Hannenkamm!

A very good sledge (we discovered) is a thick rubble bag over an old Boogie Board. Lethal but no chance of taking anyone's anklesout unlike my friend and his council street sign...otherwise known as the KiddyKiller!

[strudders]

I have seem it all now........

Thieves using a lorry with heavy-lifting gear have stolen a grit bin with two tonnes of salt intended for streets and footpaths from a road in Newton Mearns outside Glasgow

I know of two 21 year olds who died after slipping on ice just before Christmas.

I'm sure many more people have suffered the same.

[Langdale Wolf]

I'll make sure not to die.
