4" of snow, heavy snow falling and is due to continue in bursts through till 1100hr's

Work related, some arsehole drove straight into the back of one of the gritters on a straight stretch of carriageway. It's a HGV, it has eight beacon lights on it, it has working lights on it, it has high vis lights, and matey said he didn't see it till the last moment, then blames us cos "the road hasn't been gritted.

Well, this wonderful.

No buses, no trains, no gritting, no nothing!

Very peaceful. Well apart from Mrs Tel who is pestering me to find out how she can get to work.

A light dusting of snow here. Looks a bit like a cake dusted with icing sugar. Bloody cold though. All bus ses running and schools open at the moment but Secondary school says they may send pupils home if it gets worse.
Because the boys are now Home Educated I don't give a toss about the primary school.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Where is the Wenchmeister...?

Given her inability to walk in slightly slippery conditions I'd have thought she'd be logging-in from home by now...  whistle:

Despite the complete breakdown of the transport system, I was able to buy newspapers.

School opposite is closed, station has no staff, people stupidly walking on the road whilst cars are sliding around!
