About 1-2 cm of snow on the ground, except where vehicles had removed it.


People will naturally drive slower in the snow, but my journey was ok because
the snow seemed to have scared a lot of the usual school run muppets off the
roads so there was less traffic.

I have noticed that in the past when there have been dire warnings in
advance about how bad things were going to be, and they turned out to
be much milder than predicted, but I don't think there were warnings
yesterday that made it sound bad enough to put people off today, at
least not in my area.
