My director isn't coming in saying "the motorways are bad" (north harrow to pompy)

It isn't just an English thing. Anywhere that doesn't regularly get snow like this shuts down when it happens. North Carolina (US) recently had snow and they pretty much shut down too.

Countries/areas that get it regularly either have the infrastructure to cope, or know that if they didn't just get on with it, everything would just seize up.

PS - inch or two here. Lovely and crunchy underfoot which I don't mind so much, but I know it'll be an ice rink later so I'm considering hibernating.

We've got proper snow, not like that fairy dust you have up north

I just put the bin out. I can go bring it back in now - no collections today.

Fairy dust??? You just aren't used to it down there

Then again we can't boast as Blackstar and Mubs would put us to shame

Well my sister got a call to say not bother going in, when she was 5 minutes away

It's now snowing harder here but at least the A5 is clear, if this keeps up I can see us leaving early. Although knowing the chairman, he'll be here all day. Luckily my Dad is my immediate boss so if says go home, I'm going home

IT started snowing again....

Tak · 02-02-2009, 12:13

Its just started to brighten up here. My manager has said she won't be staying late tonight in case it starts to get bad again.
