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!

Yes, here in Sheffield they have had the gritters around but they are
dipositing mostly what seems to be builders sand rather than salt.
There will be a big clean up job required once the ice and snow
finally clears otherwise the gutters and drains will get blocked.
