Snow! - Page 48

Snowed heavily on Thursday so ended up turning back home on the way into work. M2 was down to one lane almost at that point.

Snowed heavily again Friday. Didn't even bother to make an attempt to get in. Turned out the M2 and A2 near us were either blocked and/or down to very low visibility due to the blizzard type conditions.

Cleared the cars both on Thursday and Friday of 6+ inches of snow and each day since there has been another 6+ inches. Saturday has been the worst so far with almost the entire day having heavy snow storms/downpours. Sunday is apparently going to be the same.

Colleague is on callout for Kent Highways in the Dover area and there has/are A roads that are either blocked or down to a crawl from snow drifts.

Monday could go either way (forecast snow/light snow showers) but we are still stuck, unable to get the car the 30m down the lane to the main road (which is still relatively clear although being re-covered after it been gritted).

Had a small bit of snow to go with the 3 inches already covering our airfield. The windchill also got down to -15, which was pleasant. Decided rolling around in the snow wasn't a good idea, for today at least.

We just had lots of snow here and as such Sam and I made a snow-woman, complete with boobage (Sam's idea

). She even has hair! It only took us 30 mins so not as good as others but fun as hell. I haven't had so much in the snow since I was a kid! Happy days!

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Tallulah!

Been a constant game of -3 the moment the sun sets and rising to maybe 0 during the day.

Had the roads here iced up for a week prior to christmas, snow, snow melt and refreeze has added to that problem.

Sod all grit for Fife (rumour is they ran out start of Dec) but they've been keeping up appearances by sending out gritters with their lights flashing. No grit coming out of them though

Luckily I'm only 0.8 miles away from work. Still treachorous and not safe to walk (inclines/declines - all frozen and lethal) but I can get there.....

Get to work in roughly 13 degree temps sitting at a till. Cold

Great snowmen, more snow predicted from 9am tomorrow till sometime on Tuesday.

Hope it rains or something. As Nice as a day or two with no work is nice. It's costing me money now

.. They already cancelled tonight's job and Unless the snow clears I expect this week of nights will be cancelled as well. which means I'll be back on days on far less moeny and still won't be able to do anything apart from sit round being bored.

Im hoping the prediction turns out to be wrong as well, it tried to snow briefly today, but came to nothing. I brought some work home on a memory stick in case Monday is bad, but I really need the network in work to be able to do stuff properly, oh and I am meant to be driving to Birmingham and back on Tuesday to go on a course, so here's hoping the weather forecasters got it wrong for all our sakes.

Some of us (and I don't mean me) have had a really crappy time of it this week, and I hope things improve next week.

As much as it scares me, I might end up walking to work all week

Kell_ee001 · 10-01-2010, 11:47

After the snow fluttering down all day yesterday I think it's actually starting to melt

I can't tell you how pleased I am! Not even bothered about trying to jump start the car by myself or losing my PJ day in order to do it

Total weight off my shoulders if I can get it out and running today
