Absolute carnage in and around HW.
Not sure if the hills adequately gritted but one of my staff still not home in Chesham having left the office in HW 3:45.

Had she been doing a full day, I don't think I would have seen her for quite some time.
In Arborfield the second bout of snow started at about 4.30 and was really heavy, brought the temperature down to 0.5C and settled on all surfaces. I had to go out at 5.15 to collect my daughter from Eversley (across the border into Hampshire) where there was notably less cover, probably due to lesser intensity. When I got there the snow was easing off and turning sleety.
Snow has stopped now in Arborfield, we have about 1cm of wet snow on the grass, and slush on the roads and pavements. Temperature still 0.5C.
