I've seen weather forecasts and decided (for me) it would be foolhardy to go anywhere by car.
We had a fair bit of communication before setting off for Maidstone yesterday morning, as snow had been forecast for Thursday night. The test was whether my s-i-l could set off for work (35 mile drive to Blackheath starting at 6am). There had been no snow, either there or in Southend, so we set off. At that stage, the forecast was for rain later on Friday. When we actually set off home at about 8.15pm, the temperature had dropped rather more than was predicted.
I think by many drivers' standards it was all OK - most of the lorry drivers were staying around the 50-60mph mark, which I thought was much too much for the conditions. My biggest problem was following the while lines, which on the hard shoulder were becoming obscured by snow, and especially hard to see in the bits where there were no streetlight. The road surface was pretty much OK - a bit of slush in places - but the visibility was the biggest problem.
I do tend to avoid driving when the conditions are anything less than ideal.
