Due to the harsh weather
See:

for the details
When someone gets prosecuted for infringing drivers hours rule they are invariably told what a danger they have been to the public.Surely in adverse weather conditions it is even more dangerous. I can see the need for extra deliveries…get more drivers on the job.
Driving over your hours is either dangerous or it isn’t!!!

That would mean applying ‘logic’ to ‘transport regulations’.
What a dangerous precedent that would be.
They’d end up having to rewrite every law in the book 
Great!
As if we don’t do enough hours already!
Is the boss going to pay me extra for this? I doubt it!
As we are salaried for the most part this does us no favours at all!

Just refuse to do the extra hours driving, unless he is willing to pay for it!

I wonder just how ‘salaried’ some salaried drivers are; ie when you are unable to work because conditions are so bad, do you still get full pay?
Most salaried office workers do: if their place of employment is closed because of bad weather they still get their full wage.

Couldn’t agree more.
We had similar derestrictions in the terrible winter in 1962. I really enjoyed my fortnight digging tracks through the snow to get feed to outlying farms. We did it because it had to be done, but we didn’t like it and we didn’t get too much in the way of extra pay, either.
to be honest it is’nt driveing time we run out of on the bulk blowers it shift time
Just crack on and don’t be soft.
We moan about too many regulations, Then when they’re lifted, You moan.
If you’re gonna do it, Then do it. No tacho, No limiter, Use the third lane. Just do it.
