Still cold

Snow fall yesterday started about 4pm and was finished by 6pm, came down quite heavily and covered the drive. It didn't stick to the main roads, which is either a good thing, no snow, or a a bad thing, more ice.

It was a little slippery on the side-roads, but seemed fine on the main ones; the mist didn't help though nor did those who thought a visibility of more than 200 yards meant fog lights are necessary. Travelling slightly slower and more carefully also highlights those who don't use their indicators - I can't anticipate what you're going to do if you don't bloody tell me.

Oh and of course a big lorry decided to park half up the path in High Street, which other than being against the parking/loading restrictions there also became illegal as soon as the driver left the vehicle unattended (Rule 246).

As I haven't mentioned potholes in a while I'll mention once again the Stour Bridge; it might have been the recent changes in weather but the tearing is much more pronounced and becoming full-blown rips. One I haven't mentioned, because it's become such a part of the landscape, is the falling away next to the drain on the Stourport Road/Sutton Park Road traffic lights coming from Kidderminster; it's not a wide road and isn't helped by your left wheel disappearing down a hole; as for cyclists using it... not good.
