It had warmed up dramatically overnight and at 8.30am it as +3. There was a warm westerly wind blowing which was melting the snow. There was very little cloud and the day was bright and sunny.

Due to the melt, the highways on the drive into work were very slushy and the wind was strong on the open highway, so caution was needed. There was also a lot of spray from other vehicles. Advice is to slow down, take care, make sure windscreen fluid is topped up and clean your lights if you need to.
