Not looking forward to pushing Marchant to school. We have to go down some side roads I know wont have been gritted.

I had to let 1/2 the pressure out of my tyres, get some pieces of wood, and rock the car up the slight incline to get it on the main road. I could smell burning rubber, maybe a bit of clutch and a bit of charred wood... however, I made it into work! a 20 minute commute turned into over an hour, ah well... I guess I better do some work. I did pump my tyres back up. I actually let the TC keep the tyres spinning got out of the car and pushed it (rocked it) enough to get some traction then dived into the car to stop it going away! lol! Don't ever try this at home unless you're a) phenominally stupid b) ridiculously strong c) both.

Seems the overnight forecast of a good ol' dumping of snow was wrong. Shame. I want a white-out*. We never get a white-out here (best we've got since I've been here - 18 years

- is an inch or two every few years and it disappears as quickly as it arrives).

* Only when I don't have to go out in it. If I have to go out, there must be no snow or ice. It's the Law.

Poxy poxy poxy schools are shut again!! I NEED to get to Kent today *cries with crossness!*
I really don't get it, roads have been clear since yesterday!

Sunny and blue skies here. Typical on my day off :/

I'm covered in snow...everything looks good covered in snow even me

Wossi · 03-02-2009, 09:55

The roads on my estate are bloody icy. As soon as I got on to the main road it was fine. Pulled into the local morrisons garage taking it slowly as it looked slightly dodgy, found out from one of the till girls that someone earlier on didn't and slid the length of the forecourt

The police are also out in force this morning.

Oh and to make matters worse, there's been a major incident at Smockington Hollow on the A5, which is about 15 minute drive away, so the A5 next to where I work is blocked up

I'm sitting at home with a nice latté looking at the snow coming down. I think our office is closed today but the people that can work from home are asked to do so, so no snow day as such for them.

Daz · 03-02-2009, 10:51

Same for me really, drinking a cup of tea at home, beavering away. Snow's not coming down but it's no better than yesterday no the snow front - worse on the ice front, roads are horrible. Would rather be in but at least I'm not being totally useless!
