That looks like an MR2 under the snow. Odd that there isn't a bump for the rear spoiler though

Rang up work and was told to attempt it even though there was a crash near the school just down the road involving a bus and a car so traffic wasn't moving and the other way, nobody could get up the slight hill. There is another way but I'm loathe to trying it as it's a nightmare at the best of times let alone with this. About 30 minutes figured I'd best at least make the effort, turns out I can't even get my car out of the car park without hitting something thanks to the slope and 3" of snow

Was then told by my boss to try and get rid of some of the snow from behind the car and put some table salt down still can't move so it looks like a snow day for me then.

Your boss sounds like an arse.

My bit of fun will be time booking at the end of the week, what I put it to. Depending on what they say will have an effect on the next time they ask me to stay late 1. I'll do it no problem or 2. I'll remind them of what they said on this occasion and say no. It's all give and take.

We had a little bit here this morning so I went to work which is about 20mins away.

Got to work and my boss said they were going to keep an eye on it as it was really coming down there, 45 mins later it's not backing off so he sent us home.

I got stuck on the farm track into work .. TWICE and it took me over an hour to get home whilst slipping and sliding all over the shop

Jamie can take the beemer into work tomorrow .. bloody thing

Gf was told that the office was open and trains were running so we made the trek back to Liverpool. Good planning leaving the car at the top of the hill. There's been a bit of gritting on random roads on the Wirral. Drove to train station. Abandoned car and got the train to L'pool. Appears to be no gritting what so ever in Liverpool. Pavements are really bad. Took me an hour to do a 20 min walk. Its so quiet out there. Hardly any traffic or people. I'm glad I went out yesterday and got all the shots I needed. Its so bad now.

My boss is my dad the thing is, most of the main roads are fine and if I could get off my estate it would be fine, I think it mainly just ideas to see if I could move.

Some people do get genuinely 'stranded' at home, and why risk banging your car up just to get to work? Seems a bit crazy to roll up at the office (late) and have a cracked bumper and missing headlights just so you can boast that you made it in. Good for you, but you blatantly shouldn't have driven here you tit.

However they often get tarred with the same brush as people who get a dusting of snow and declare that they can't come in. Just an overblown excuse to stop in try to continue the xmas holiday in many cases I suspect.
