Roads round here (East Anglia) are usable with care. Only 20-40cm of

"Only"? Sure you don't mean mm?


My mistake. Yes. less than 2"


Whatever's happened to the good old inch? Weather people never ever
refer to it nowadays, even though It's a much more practical unit for
snow depth.

Beside, cm aren't SI units and are to be deprecated.


We should use nanoparsecs... 30mm or so.

1 Parsec = 3.08568025 × 10**16 metres, ITYM attoparsecs?
