I can't believe we've made it to 41 pages. Still snowing here but not sticking, yet. Anyway.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Well here along the south coast while it has been colder than usual we have barely had any snow. Round where I am the last snow was a week ago but nothing settled. Before that it was some weeks and only around for a day or so. It has been much wetter here so hose pipe ban looks like a dead cert again.

The M6 itself was fine. Everything else, even motorways were 20MPH max, full of idiots who did not know how to drive on snow. There was a bunch of people helping to push cars out of a busy motorway service station, including a panda car. Wales was horizontal snow (couldn't see the road *at all*) and 20-30MPH max where I'd usually be pushing three times that. Ended up getting a tow up a slight incline (Which I've seen since) from a local. I believe I can talk in this situation.

20-30mph max where you would be going 3 times that.... I hope you meant 20-23.333mph

I'm quite looking forward to seeing which water company has the nuts to do it first

What ever you do. Do not eat the yellow snow!

Yellow snow is fine but stay away from the slushy stuff (or give it to the kids). Al

The Swedes have a saying: Eat yellow snow - it could be beer

Well I'm better, because I rode my road bike with like 2 inches of fresh snow on the road and was still trundling along at 30 or so.  As soon as the snow got compacted though, I gave it a day.
