Want away, but you'll only work yourself into a state ..... and an early grave, most likely.

P.S. Don't shuffle off till the Dandelions are out, will you?

Here it's the main roads and bus routes that get priority, after that you might get a visit from a gritter if you're lucky.

Most ridiculous thing I heard was a couple of years ago, couple I know that live on the main street watched it happen, small council tractor came along depositing salt on the pavement . . . . about an hour later one of those pavement sweepers came along and sooked it all up again

Still very tiny flakes, and very light, no snow to speak of ....yet..... ?

But the surounding hills are thick with snow, so driving around the views are lovely innit...

Typical council management - street cleansing management save money by using these mini roadsweepers on footways - highways management then pay more out repairing the footways because of the damage caused by them driving on somewhere not built for vehicles ..... you couldn't make it up!
