And this is in Nottingham, you understand. It might have snowed more in other places, and not at all elsewhere. Snow is like that. But the one thing it has in common with everywhere is that it makes driving riskier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4532794719633406\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got an alert tonight from my CCTV camera that motion had been detected.
