No gritters went past last night and the road is completely covered with snow this morning. FFS

School is shut as predicted. Bugger is I still have to go to work!
Snot fair!

No gritters last night, and shed loads of snow this morning, oh joy!

Drove a mile up to the big main road roundabout and it was just as bad there. Fully covered with snow and no grip whatsoever. Turned around, drove back and got stuck on the steep hill about 100yards from the house so Leon had to rescue me. Have abandonned ship on next door's drive and am signing in from home for now.

Apparently it's just as bad in Derby. I can't drive 17 miles in this!

no snow here at all.

leowyatt · 05-02-2009, 08:37

just been outside and we have about 1/4 of an inch of snow and it's sticking

jmc41 · 05-02-2009, 08:50

About 6" in Warwick I reckon. Still, I made it in okay

Been told to wait till 9am before even thinking of setting off. Took my dad nearly an hour to get to work this morning, should take 10 minutes. Apparently the A5 was like an ice rink and most of the roads round here are blocked. just another 1/2 hour to see if I have to go in or not.

My sister's school isn;t closed but she and half her dept aren't going in as they can't make it. Bloody media trying to guilt teachers into making into work when they shouldn't be driving.

Rain here.

Grit is useless in heavy snow. Unless you dump an utterly enormous quantity.

Light smattering here, currently being destroyed by the rain. I should imagine the main roads are fine.
