A cold spell, and the first real snow of the season.

As often, the authorities were totally unprepared. We had slow traffic at first, and then stuck traffic.

The large lorry was stuck completely for well over an hour; it simply couldn’t get enough traction to move up the road, which is a small incline. The bus further up near the traffic lights was also stuck. The bus coming downhill has “Not in service” on the display – they simply stopped all the buses running due to tricky road conditions. Britain and infrastructure – duh!
