Default Anyone else had a bump in the snow this morning?

set off for work early to avoid the congestion, nearly got there and as I pulled into the central reservation to turn right into my site acces road it went from a gritted road to an ice rink
needless to say there was a car at the end of the turning area also waiting to turn right, my car was going about 1mph and just wouldn't stop... it did stop after bouncing off the nissan x trail tho

the guy works on my site but there looks to be no damage so far..
take care out there it's bloody slippy!!!

The main roads are fine, but its the side roads that are

Gutted mate were you in the mondeo.

I seen a crash today and i cant stop thinking about it.There was a renault megane which hit the back of a renault van and the magene just look like it had exploded.The van went down the enbankment.Then the bloke got out of the megene and got on his hands and knees and was holding his bloody nose.It was mad to see it.

I also heard there was a wagon that jacked knifed on the A19 this morning.
