Not ten minutes ago it was a sunny day a couple of miles south. Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all. The sudden icy conditions seem to have caused a few incidents, as a number of ambulances and police cars were going around with blue lights flashing and sirens on. Here, someone has slid off the road and the police have just this second arrived.
