About 2" of snow so far - interesting that the road through the village hasn't been gritted (normally loads of grit/salt all over the place at the slightest suggestion of frost), it made me wonder whether there has been a policy decision to not grit as people shouldn't be going out anyway

Had fine snow on and off for an hour or two. It's cold enough for it to settle if it gets going properly!

About 1C down here, but vaguely sunny.
Went for a bike-ride down the seafront at 9 o'clock. 2 Jumpers and hat and gloves!
Didn't see any swimmers.
But lots of joggers.
Good news is the yellow crocuses have popped up.

nope, just incompetence. We had no gritting for the first lot of snow and ice here, despite it being forecast, It's like Councils forget that winter comes round every year. They get up in the morning, look out at the winter wonderland and go 'Oh yeah! Gritting! I knew there was something we were supposed to do.'About 2" of snow so far - interesting that the road through the village hasn't been gritted (normally loads of grit/salt all over the place at the slightest suggestion of frost), it made me wonder whether there has been a policy decision to not grit as people shouldn't be going out anyway

You'd be surprised. Local authorities take winter road treatment and snow clearing seriously. When conditions are iffy, they are in 24hr close liaison with weather centres and make judgements based on ongoing advice. I know the score, I was at the sharp end organising it all!

Maybe at the Council you worked for but they are not all the same. Here they have always been a total shambles.
