Wonder of wonders! We've just had a snowplough along our road.
That's the first
time during all of this snowy spell. Perhaps no-one has told
them there's a
thaw on the way :-(

Well, lucky old you!
Our street hasn't been touched by plough or gritter.
Consequently there are still several inches of soggy snow lying
on top of the ice created by compaction of earlier snow by cars.
We live on a close in south east Sheffield on the edge of a housing estate
and in the past ten days we've had two gritter lorries deposit their load
and reverse back up the close... I guess we are lucky in Sheffield!
