Boris just been on saying that they have gritted all the London roads overnight but it didn't work. Lies tbh
I'm not discounting your claim because I think you're right, but there is a problem with overnight gritting apparently. Grit/salt only works properly if mixed with snow - if the snow just settles on top then that's where it stays.

We had a semi- blizzard for about half an hour, its stopped for a bit and is starting up again slowly now but is nothing significant unfortunately.

I hope Picky doesn't get stuck at school! He's supposed to get stuck at home for these things!

No wonder some places want to bring in a foreign workforce...I mean, look at Will
Cheeky bastard.

Josh had to be picked up early due to school closing early *sigh* they only had 40mins of school left anyway.
Its about 2inchs I think and its been lightly snowing for a couple of hours.

Right off to town now we will need to drive as the pushchair won't handle the snow up the hill if we walk or got bus lol

Still snowing in Hitchin.

Someone kindly scraped off the bonnet of my car at around 11am. It's covered again now.

Nik got to work fine this morning. The side roads were a tad dodgy and he said watching a bus going up a hill was amusing.

It's been snowing for about 2 hours but not enough for major coverage but if it keeps up you never know.
