2 inches of snow in an hour, out of the blue (literally) and it totalled traffic conditions in watford.

m25 jammed so all traffic started getting off junctions 17 through 20 directly into watford; traffic not aware of this attempts to _also_ go through watford to get _on_ the m25.

four hours later after waiting a couple of hours to go home: wide empty and icy road outside the industrial estate. i've never tried doing hand brake turns before. it's fun!

[kids! don't steal your parent's car to do hand brake turns, they might get a bit upset if you prang the family runabout]
