No idea what all the fuss is about. Hardly got anything here.

Having said that I'm sure all this "The country hasn't got the infrastructure to cope" bollocks is mostly caused by lazy sods in the SE who seem to have this mentality that a bit of snow means that you don't even have to try and do the days work for which you're being paid. The idea of taking the day off due to snow isn't something that's really occured to me since I left school.

Don't you Scousers call all us Southern people wimps! I went to work to this morning, it has been snowing all day, the snow on the ground is twice as thick as it was this morning!

Was skidding all over the place in places today.

Big thick snow flakes atm but it isn't laying and the stuff on cars and suchlike is melting

I had to trudge into work this morning. i just don't understand how all London Buses have been cancelled due to snow. The capital and they don't grit the place! Not that it affects me but still. Complete rubbish!

Well I'm in Gravesend today and there is about 5 inches minimum. We cleared the snow off the car and within an hour there was 2 inches more on it

That's why you can't get to london

The snow here is over a foot thick and the roads have turned to compacted ice in many places.

I'm stuck in an office, the most I've been able to do is put a snowball in the managers coffee mug, show me photos of snowmen and snow angels and people having snowball fights

The only query I have had all day has come from the Bristol office - so it must be ok there?!

Looking at all the weather forecasts the snow is coming in from the SE so obviously has petered out when it gets to the SW

Our office shuts at 2pm.. ooo shame!

Best Monday ever in my opinion!

It's really rather bad down my way and there's no way in hell I can drive - couldn't even get out of the car park without sliding all over the place and I'm not unfamiliar with driving on snow. The trains are donald ducked so it is a bit of a PITA to get to work today - I hate being off work, I feel like I'm being a cheeky bugger but there's nothing i can do about it
