I'm sure us Brits can remember bad conditions, but only because our country isn't prepared for them. East of the A1, flat country, black ice in a moment. A ditch/dyke is easy to find. Traction, none.
Are the government spending out for salt yet? Seems like they're asking for money for everything else.

The gritting of the roads was a post code lottery this morning. Driving in South Goucestershire was treacherous, whereas driving in Bath & North East Somerset was fine.
We didn't have any snow here, but about an inch of hailstones
No snow in the SW London / Surrey borders, did have to scrape the car free from a thin layer of ice though. I'm in a cold 'hot-spot' for this area, due to the proximity of a lot of open space, Richmond Park in particular.
Unusual for this time of year, admittedly, but nice to have some evidence that seasons still exist!
Richmond Park, where do you live Mr C ? If you're close to RP you are in a nice area. Roehampton, Mortlake, Barnes ?? Please don't tell me Richmond, spent a fortune every weekend just getting there and back for a drink from Feltham and Egham
