Snow is falling

I've just got in from a girls night in at a friends...Think it was just as well she couldn't afford a babysitter and am not allowed to drink as it is a winter wonderland out there...It's been snowing on and off all day but the snow has been permanent on the ground since about 4pm and still now at 1:32am the roads have not been gritted...One of my friends her daughter had a car go into the back of her earlier...The police refused to go out to the accident saying the weather was too bad but that they would contact the powers that be and get the gritters to come out...Oh and that the accident would be due to adverse weather conditions...When buses have severe problems not skiding about on the streets and getting up and down hills then surely gritters are a necessity and shouldn't be an afterthought...Anyways despite that it is pretty out there
