Should have inccluded no trains running. Or if they do, the odd time it fails to stop at the platform due to ice.Horrible

Stop it! Every year I try to be determined not to let it get to me, but it always does. Lol.

Less of a problem compared to leaf fall season

Very little chance of the third one. Gritting budget is always low so seldom see a gritter.

The local tram company has a scraper unit that runs around the network making a foul noise. Keeps the track clean though.

I would imagine your winters are more severe than ours in that part of Germany?

They still don't plough/grit all the roads, or all the cycleways for that matter. Spiked tyres are the answer.

Doubt they do.
Up here it's the lunatics in charge.

Can be a bit heavy up here, we're 400m above sea level, not quite high enough that snow chains are mandatory for cars but high enough that you have to carry them just in case. On occasion the roads get closed because the plough gets stuck. A friend went snowboarding down one...

I've actually bought a pair for the MTB, but whether I a) get around to fitting them and b) actually go out in icy conditions remains to be seen.
I'm still really nervous of falling off again.

Last tram round these parts left Masons Green, on St Valentine’s Day 1939.
