Bournemouth: slushy pavements in Bath Road

After Bournemouth received its heaviest snowfall over the course of the last 36 hours, today's showers have turned more and more sleety and we have been left with these unpleasant pavements of deep slush, causing each footstep to create a squelch and leaving you with a squeaking shoe for the afternoon (and, curiously, only ever one; never both). The icy road surface is thawing to produce puddles in the gutters, and when buses and lorries pass along here you walk on the far edge of the pavement lest you get sprayed with cold, muddy water.
