Na I think we sent our gritters up north and now they can't get back :D

I don't care I'll work from home,

trouble is although I'm in IT the company proper is a delivery service so all our phones go balistic when it snows with irate customers who can't understand why their delivery from Amazon has not arrived even though there is 2 foot of snow outside their front door :(

Tommorow will be interesting (again)
 
Southampton......Snowing hard, icy roads with idiots on them.
Paol.

If you see a gritter it is called an optical holusion (sorry cannot spell it)
a new game up here for the kids you can have a tenner if you spy one ha ha
 
just got in from night shift its snowed hard in the night in leeds . and the roads are a disgrace not a sign of gritters .A64 at seacroft is nearly at a stand still heading into town. another total mess up by councils due to penny pinching again .i am of to my warm bed now.

Must have been 6in of snow fall overnight around Welshpool area, could be more, but not going out to measure it:D We live 7mile outside of Welshpool in the hill's, so the main road from Oswestry to Newtown could be open, but why not stay at home and enjoy some banter on the Wildcamping website?:cool: I'm sure Aj will be along later (once he discards his wig and gown for the day):D:rolleyes:

Safe driving and Happy Camping:)
 
Snow has reached us in torbay,i got into work but cant deliver the post so we were sent home.Happy days!!!
 
Oxfordshire

Loads of snow!

Centre of Oxford very quiet, with around 6 inches of snow-roads are crap.

Around the county...

in the south thick snow, I couldn't/wouldn't get my car this morning, no buses in village so 20 min walk across fields to catch bus to Didcot to get the train to oxford-train delayed.

in the west very thick snow, roads are crap, very little public transport

in the north very thick snow, roads again are crap

And its still snowing!

A winter wonderland, will bore you all with photos of oxford in the snow later.... Now I'm here may as well go and have coffee-rude not to!

Southampton; heavy snow, schools closed not much public transport and not much gritting. Local shops short, as not many deliveries. City is run by wimps!
Paol.

Snow snow and more snow
Just spent the last hour getting my priorities right

1st start up gladys and leave her running for a while

2nd cup of coffee

3rd start to clear my drive and take another coffee break

4th let the shovel/spade hold me up while I look around and think about it.

Switch off Glad and go in doors and wait for tomorrow.

News is on and they are saying about schools closed and parents now have to have time off work because of child care.
Hold on I thought schools were a place where children go to learn not somewhere to go while parents work. And if children and staff can't get to schools eg bad road conditions, I am sure parents can't get to work. and they are saying don't travel unless you have to.

Ok now i am going to go a walk down the road with my walking poles and suss out the ground ready for work tomorrow (if we are open)
 
We have about 8" in south Herefordshire. The main A49 is slushy and passable but other roads haven't been cleared although we saw some tractors out last night making a token effort.

These are the views we woke up to in Ross-on-Wye:

There were workmen errecting scaffolding yesterday in the snow. Then two men were up clearing the snow from the roof of the old peoples bungalows. These are still occupied properties. Today workmen have been stripping off the tiles in the snow using a blow torch to free the tiles. Have Durham County Council gone completely mad.
 
hi guys

New to this forum, the snow in the borders is around 300mm and all the mains roads have been closed at some point today this would question the planned borders meet depending on the snow, it will take some moving. the long term forecast not looking good due to low temps all the schools closed

:cool::cool:cool
East Lothian is around 100mm most roads now clear but more on the way, forecasters in october said it was to be a mild winter see they got it right again...............................................
Long cold winter dark dreery nights push on spring
