I had to drive 18 miles to work in Cambridge this morning through the snow. My wife and daughter both said I was mad to try it and to just phone in and say I was stuck. I did go and it was one of the easiest drives to work I have ever had.
The roads had been salted and gritted and only the residential streets were slippery. There was virtually no traffic probably 20% of the normal, I was even able to find a parking place easily.
Just how many people just give up and stay home at the first hint of snow ?
Judging by my expierience today over 50%
Got inside car this morning. Kind of dark with igloo covering. Got out again. Locked car and caught bus. Tonight all ok but nearly slid over on pavement. They are more treacherous than the roads.
