I didn't wear my new coat.
I realised when breaking the ice on the birdbath that it was nowhere near cold enough for that. I wore my Mum's jacket instead, and got so hot I had to wear it open halfway to town.
Actually all the roads were clear, so there was no grinding to a halt that I saw. I think the roads here are generally good, but then I lived within spitting distance of the Southern approach to the Blackwell Tunnel. I hope never to live anywhere with traffic quite like that again.
(The Blackwall Tunnel goes under the Thames. Two lanes in each direction, but in separate tunnels. When it is closed it is closed, and there is nowhere else for the traffic to go once they have reached a certain point. Traffic can and does back up for MILES).
We had snow again today. Hours of it. Still didn't settle. I think we've had our ration for this winter.
