Roads are still a bloody nightmare tho, snow or no snow! I commute to work along the A275 (Chailey - Danehill) and theres a section of around 200 metres near Sheffield Park thats been sodding lethal for the last two days. Came through there on Monday morning to find one of my colleague's cars on its roof and smashed to bits

Luckily she was ok (only injury was made worse whilst trying to climb out of an upside-down car), but i spent the next hour helping out and slowing down traffic. Large parts of the road were so bad i couldn't stand up properly on the ice, so a car on the bends had no chance. Did they grit the road? Yeah right.

Local resident told me that was the second crash there that morning (previous one had only just been cleared). The Police who attended took about 40 mins to get to us and said they were flat out with accidents around the area.

I love the snow as it keeps most people off the roads. Every idiot is still out on the ice though!
