Even this morning the run from hitchin to luton was terrible, as though no gritters had been out at all.

We had good fun at work though in the snow, last night as the plows moved all the snow to the side guys where driving through it (in the work vans).

We had tonnes of fresh snow to play with. I was desperate to make a snowman but I don't think they would appreciate one by the side of the runway

There wasn't any gritters last night as far as I know. I do know the paths were deadly today. Nearly went over on more than one occasion on the way to the train station today - thank god I was wearing my big boots as opposed to my normal Converse All Stars.

'Avoid at all costs' messages are a new one to me.

Sam- You are the coolest.
I have to admit, apart from being cold and having numb toes and burning fingers and all, I am really kinda jealous. Snow is awesome.

I would probably die laughing if it ever snowed on Oahu... people would not know what to do (me included!). The island would just shut down!

I thought it was really cool the first (and only) time I got to scrape a windshield. I guess it's less exciting the more you do it.
