Hi there and welcome - not sure which part of the country you're referring to there, but I honestly can't see the depths we have in Scotland being wiped-out by a few slightly milder days Slush and the reformation of ice overnight also tend to make just as dangerous here.

Also, did you notice this thread about suggesting a false dawn weatherwise?

Anyways - here's hoping you're correct

I'm totally happy with that, if it will get rid of all the horrible ice here.

Suppose so Tom. It's quite ironic how everyone looks forward to snow with the onset of winter, then as soon as it arrives we all suddenly remember what a pain in the arse it is.

Memories like goldfish!

It does seem too far away. I'm sick to the back teeth of snow. Would be happy to never see another flake!

It will not be extremely mild, temps will be back to average or slightly below for the North. Most of the snow will still remain by Saturday.

A gradual thaw is coming

Same here!

To be honest I don' think I would mind so much if we had just had a long hot summer but it doesn't really seem that long since last years snow and then a very short, wet summer!

The bbc weather site would make no judgement on temperature (ie mild or cold) and would make no judgement on snow thaw.

so you did not

Yeah I know.

The bloody tractors keep coming round here making everything worse...piling the snow into mountains in the middle of the roads, and leaving the ice there...surely its better trying to drive on snow than on ice

It was quite funny yesterday though...they came round piling the snow up again. The neighbour had spent about half an hour digging his car out. The tractors then deposited the snow right behind his car He was fuming and I stood laughing, dont like him anyways

Like him or not, I think I'd have laughed too. Saw it happen years ago now though, one of those 'not funny, but very funny' situations!!

Well of course they tell you what temperature its going to be.

If its above freezing it thaws (not too difficult to understand is it?)

And the warmer it is, the quicker it thaws.
