EARLY WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/europe/uk/warnings.html

EARLY WARNING of Freezing Rain and Widespread Icy Roads Issued by the Met Office at 11:04 on Tuesday, 29 November

OVERALL RISK ASSESSMENT: The probability of disruption due to severe weather conditions in part of the United Kingdom within the next 24 hours is 60 percent.
This is the first warning of disruption due to Freezing Rain.
The Met Office is expecting a band of rain (initially starting as snow) to edge eastwards across the country during Wednesday 30th November. There is a moderate to high risk of this rain falling onto sub-zero surfaces and this will lead to widespread icy conditions for a time. Latest evidence suggests that the peak risk will coincide with the Wednesday morning rush-hour over central areas of the UK. This will be a short-lived but potentially dangerous event.
This warning is likely to be superseded by Flash messages.

I'd love to get some snow here for once.. it usually dumps itself on the Chilterns and never makes it this far down  :( Having said that the roads were VERY slippy on the way home from work just now and my car was getting all too tail-happy. I think I'll be driving the 110 to work from now on.

I think I'll be driving the 110 to work from now on.

That 110 won't help in freezing rain! It gets slippery as H@ll  A few years ago in Croatia Mid Winter in the Artic I was slidingb all over the place! So i gently managed to Stop! And whilst Stationary in the road Parking brake On and the Truck was slowly sliding into the Gutter just by the vibration of the engine? Scary I'll Tell You!
