 Ice is slippy….. - Bromptonaut
The last fortnight has probably been the longest serious cold snap since we moved here (Northants) 30 years ago. Not much snow but there is significant ice on untreated roads and while some areas are cleared when the sun heats the surface others, particularly on north and east facing slopes, stay icy.

I have however had no issues at all driving. Speed low, gentle accelerator, observation and anticipation and letting throttle control speed rather than braking all help.

I've considered X-Climates in the past but, tbh, don't think they'd bring much to the party down here.
