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.

Problems on the central line, piccadilly line, bakerloo suspended north
of wherever it was. Overground suspended north of wilseden. Why? Slightly
below freezing temps and a few flakes of snow. What an utter farce TfL is.
And they have the gall to put the fares up yet again above inflation in Jan.

Meanwhile the roads were fine.

Including the ones managed by TfL? ;-)

I didn't notice much grit on the north circular so it was probably more
by luck than design.
