Not all of the UK is feeling quite so temperate. We've bought a farm house 1000 feet up in the pennines. We got within 300 yards of it last Saturday in the car through the snow (trying to deliver a car load of stuff) and had to walk the rest. Dug the car out and took it back down the hill. Since then it has not been warm enough to make a significant difference to the drifts. It is raining now so I might be able to drive up there tomorrow, but the forecast is for -3 Celcius on Saturday night so there will be plenty of ice still.
