Yes, that is unusual. My main concern when I was in
Untersiggenthal was not the main roads, it was firstly getting up the ramp
from the underground garage into the access lane, the 50 metres to the
side street, and the further 50 metres to the main road.
I'm a little bit worried about whether I'll be able to get into
Kings Cross on Tuesday night -- that's when the snow is forecast to hit
London -- for a gathering of cruciverbalists at the Guardian HQ. Luckily
the Tube strike (if it went on, there's nothing obvious on the Torygraph
site and
www.tfl.gov.uk still mentions it as a possibility) will be over
before then.
