Roads are ok at the moment with a bit of slush but no worse.
BBC app says: heavy Snow shower is forecast until 18.00 then partly cloudy for the rest of tonight. Temps are down to -5 or -6 from 18.00.
Safe home.

The photo out of hubbys window in Astonfields hasn't got as much as we have this end. Spent an hour clearing the earlier snow off mine and the shared driveway part (no-one from the other 4 houses has ever helped to do it in the 38 years we've been here!) , now it's coming down thick and fast again
Opened the garage door 10 minutes ago for hubby to drive straight in .......now got a garage full of snow
Save the snow in the garage until summer and surprise the unhelpful snow shovellers with your very own snowman. That'll teach 'em

The unhelpful neighbours have been busy creating an ice-rink at the top of my own bit of driveway.....their visitor parked there instead of going further down to their driveway. Couldn't scrape the ice which quickly formed on the windows, so slung many bowls of water over them, most of it landing on the driveway 
Hubby said the car temperature gauge showed -5 at 4pm

As the Met Office seem to be struggling to provide a comprehensive weather service (a "Maps Outage due to unprecedented levels of demand"), at the time when people need a comprehensive weather service, I've turned to Meteoradar.co.uk for the latest and forecast precipitation.
They seem to be suggesting more snow showers later this evening and overnight.

Thanks for the weather updates.
I did do my shift at the Gatehouse, it wasn't too bad getting there but roads quite icy driving home, especially down the lanes in Bednall.
Tomorrow we're meant to be getting the church ready for the Booksale/Coffee Morning which means transporting the table tops from Wendy's barn to church.
Not looking forward to doing that in the slippery slidy snow.

Snow day for Blessed Bill.
Only about two inches on the ground, but it has melted and frozen several times, a right mess away from busy roads.

Enjoying a drop of red.
He may have succumbed to the effects of hypothermia by now...
Is it not somewhat peculiar that a system designed to keep you warm can in fact, not cope with actual cold weather.
Older boilers were better. I am in no hurry to replace ours.

Thought as much. Ignition lockout just a byproduct?
Everything online is telling me the metal pipe shouldn’t be our condensate one as you’re not meant to do that (and it just drips out onto our garage roof rather than directing to any drain) but other than a pipe coming out of the bathroom that’s all there is. So unless a water tank would have had a waste pipe it can’t be that as that was here before the new boiler (which took the place of a tank)
Said pipe attached

Our newish Baxi went off last night with an error code E28 .. We poured hot water on the pipe outside and blew the hairdryer on it. It started working again .
Today the same thing has happened , stopped with that error code on, but the hairdryer and water didn't fix it this morning .
The temperature gauge on the car parked inside the garage was -3 this morning when hubby got into it, so no wonder it had icicles hanging on the pipe outside above the garage!
@Rikki Is it just likely just to be the frozen condensate pipe and will sort itself out when the temperatures eventually rise, or worth giving my baxi bloke another ring?
