Snow and more snow!
« on: December 20, 2009, 07:36:29 AM »
We;ve had snow for the last 3 or 4 days, and sub-zero temperatures as well.... Tonight it snowed heavily again.

I went to pick my daughter up from work, a journey that normally takes me 10-12 minutes, but tonight it's taken 80 minutes! The roads are just sheets of snow covered ice.

I even passed a grit lorry that was stuck on the ice, and a police van that had slid on a roundabout and wrapped itself round a lampost.

I think a trip to the boat club may be off the agenda tomorrow!

Hi all,
I'd like to say I helped with this snow-thing, but I was forced to stay indoors & observe from the warm, as I was having a beer & I didn't want to risk going out, slipping, and spilling it!! ;D   ;)
