Looks like no where has been gritted, looks like its caught them out. 

[Dibdabbers]

Roads are absolutely awful this morning. 

[Staffordshire]

Wasn't expecting that overnight, don't think the councils were either, very heavy traffic all around this morning. Nice surprise to wake up to though.

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Just woke up and pulled the curtains aside expecting to be greeted by the colours of red brick and green grass, and what should greet my eyes but a dusting of snow. This is easily our most snowy period since March 2013, and we're only 1/6 of the way into this Winter.

[RobR]

This morning was a bit of a surprise, but the snow that fell was rock solid and sheets of ice on the road. Stoke was gridlocked again.I drove into the Moorlands and roads were white over but passable. Few inches up there. Even the gritter got stuck though!

[shaky]

Woke up to a surprise snow cover in leicester aswell today!!side roads are lethal out there with all the ice!!not much melt going on in the shade!!

[MattStoke]

I thought the snow was really easy to get around on this morning. Really crunchy and grippy. Some patches of ice too though.

Ay, dreading tomorrows deluge for my area

[MattStoke]

I'm dreading the milder weather. I hate mild winter weather. It baffles me that so many prefer it. It's just horrid.

It's ok if it's cold and dry. Mild winter weather is normally wet though.

Always a big difference between my work and my home. A distance of 3 miles. Completely clear at work but quite a bit of snow and a lot of ice where I live. Absolute ice rink. Very dangerous.
