Councils do really annoy the feck out of me. Cardiff is pretty clear, according to my Dad. They have at least cleared the snow off all main roads and pavements (well, gritted them anyway), the M4 is open and flowing and all that. Which is nice.
If the Council says they are prepared for the snow, then be prepared for the snow. Get out there and grit the roads, clear the snow and get the towns open again. It is nearly Christmas and there are places in the UK that cannot go out and shop, because of the snow.
Where i am, there is no snow on the ground. Newport is relatively clear (ain't been to town for a while) and Cardiff is functional. There may be some snow over-night, but all the forecasters are saying it is warming up a bit with rain over the weekend.
