Good for you, but you blatantly shouldn't have driven here you tit.

However they often get tarred with the same brush as people who get a dusting of snow and declare that they can't come in. Just an overblown excuse to stop in try to continue the xmas holiday in many cases I suspect.

One of the directors here remarked that people should make every possible effort to get in even if it takes them 3 hours.

I remarked was being able to do a couple of hours work worth risking their and others lives and he went quiet and vanished. Snowing all morning here, no sign of being able to leave early yet, my boss kindly said I could leave at 5pm after I got in at 7:55am.

Hasn't snowed here in a while, it's been sunshine since about 11am. There's a chance of more snow tonight though.

Sadly, I'm working

Predicted a balmy 21 here. Unfortunately no trade winds and haven't had any for about 5 days, so we're also suffering from Vog. Vog = Volcanic Fog, lots of sulfur dioxide. Net result is I've got a dodgy throat and ending most days with headaches. Causes interesting respiratory and allergy reactions in most folks here, though usually not serious.

Sounds delightful

My wife is taking far too much delight in informing me that it is currently 26C and glorious sunshine in Southern California

It's a hard life

I trust the immigration stuff is progressing smoothly?

Yeah don't it just. I've just arrived at work (5:44am), and it's raining with a hint of wind too. Fingers crossed that should mean bye-bye Vog.

nice sheet of ice settled on top here now. Melted a bit in the sunshine, now freezing up again!

Makes for nice piccies though

We've been told in as many words to make as little effort as possible to come in but to take work home with us. I'm all set up here already with all my work surrounding me and spent most of the day in the library hatching plans how to stop global warming

Second day on a new job and I couldn't make it in!! I felt well bad. Proper like. They asked me to make a load of phonecalls and things from home so have been working all of today really (although only getting a half day pay).

Apparently no more snow here now but am worried it's going to freeze up and become an ice rink... eak!

How embarrassing though! Not the impression I wanted to give!
