I went on the bus to my local tesco this morning and in Harrow there was plenty of bread and milk and fresh food.

I am sure in the next few days there will be shortages of fresh items.

Tesco is not my first choice supermarket but I have a choice of different buses I can get which helps.

Snowed in!

Having a day at home today having given up trying to get to work at 5:30 this morning because the road (A4095 West Oxfordshire) was blocked by a car abandoned in a snowdrift.
Still a few snowflakes falling but traffic on the roads is starting to move past my house now.
Plenty of food in the cupboard so I don't need to worry about shopping for a while.


I always have a couple of cartons of long life milk in the cupboard and tortilla wraps as a substitute for bread if I run out.
Both of these are also good to keep in the van as they keep for ages.

Back to work tomorrow if I can get there!

Dave.

Snowing hard again here.



At least it waited until I'd finished clearing the driveway before undoing all my hard work!

I drove from Chesterfield to Southport today. Definitely a bit hairy on the A6 with lots of artics stranded. I started with icicles hanging from the overcab and 100 miles on they are still there.

Well it hasn’t gone that far yet but we are up to minus 2. Wondering if we may get a snow plough through or not today, may get a look at the van if we do. Will be world war 3 if roads aren’t cleared soon cos Caz is going to run out of baccy

Thankfully snow is thawing here and I hope that it keeps going there is a lot of snow to melt.

A house out the back of me with a loft conversion has water pouring out a pipe, phoned the estate agent to contact the owners :sad:

Just above freezing point here. That East wind has dropped and it feels a lot warmer.

We had a light dusting of snow overnight and I was able to see the tracks of various wildlife in and around the woods. They are surviving and there was even a little birdsong again.

Tried to get to work again this morning, got a bit further driving through a gulley in the snow with the car mirrors touching the snowdrift on both sides. (This is normally a two way road)
Then saw blue lights ahead, as I got closer I could see a 4x4 ambulance towing a large ambulance which had got stuck going the other way.
Managed to get in to a field gateway and let them past then decided if they are getting stuck I've got no chance so turned around and followed them back to the village and went home and back to bed.

The snow has started to thaw here now, water dripping everywhere, so it looks like nature will clear the roads before the council get around to doing anything about it.

Me and the dog won't be huddled around a single led light tonight with the expectation of raising the temp by a billionth of a degree!
