Well, I'm not ashamed of being a great big snow jessie. We had 4" yesterday and another 1-and-a-bit today. Now, I didn't go to work yesterday (would have been needing an ambulance - I live on a steep hill and I ride a scooter). But I thought "oh no, today's OK, it's slushy.. and the main roads are clear" so we manhandled said scooter to bottom of hill and off I went. Got to work fine - then it starts snowing again. RRRRs. Try riding a scooter in the snow, wiping flakes off your visor every 3 seconds, doing no more than 30mph on a dual carraigeway (before you say it, yes it WILL go faster than that - I was being exceedingly careful) while muppets overtake you at 50mph and spray you with slush... and then turning into your snowy back road - and decking it for all to see. I felt very foolish indeed. It took 2 of us to push scooter to top of hill again. *embarrassed to have ridden in such stupid conditions*
