Well the news is full of people wingeing away as usual because they got stuck in their cars or lorries and the powers that be havent cleared all the snow away and got them out. Seems to me we've got perfectly efficient weather forecats: there's nothing in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to say you've got a sacred right to drive your car anytime anywhere whatever the weather. Stay home and enjoy it. It'll all be melted in no time, and the gritters will soon be round.
And if youve got to go out, make sure youve got a few Kitkats. That'll see you through a day or two in a drift.
