Great attitude, Seriously! last years snow brought a lot of us to our senses! First year in 20 years I wont be risking it either. Keep up to date with work, Don't slack on the good days, and stick a few hundred quid away for when it snows.

Enjoy your day/s off lads ;D   I'm off out to build a snowman with the kids!

BVC.

I'm in Surrey and not working today either, but I'm struggling with deciding on tomorrow.  It's probably not going to warm up enough to melt the snow, but I'm behind so there's pressure to get out, but I'm trad only and recent posts have proven how dangerous it can be so maybe it's not worth the risk.  On the other hand, I'm thinking I'm wimping out and it could be perfectly fine out there.

Anyone else constantly second guessing themselves?

No way today - doesn't matter whether your trad or wfp the pavements and side roads are treacherous. You might not kill yourself slipping on an icy pavement but 6 weeks off with a broken ankle doesn't really appeal either!
It is clearing here so think we will get some done tomorrow.

It was lovely in South East Wales; I got so warm at one point I had to take my jacket off.

No snow left here.  ;D

The southwest is the place to live right now; you hard buggars can keep your snow and ice; I hate the stuff.

No heaters in the van over night, no cold hands, no woolie hats; just like summer.

And long may it last!!!!!

Only did two jobs on a main road today. All the side roads still bad around Basildon.

Had to climb onto a recycling bin and then over the fence-not advised! If I'd thought about it before I'd left indefinitely wouldn't have done it.

Catch up tomorrow me thinks. Most snow has turned to slush so should be ok by mid morning

Day off today and tomorow and about a week behind coz of freezing windows last week and rain and wind in jan. Custys understand tho and as I say to them I can come but if my ladder slips and hits your car. They see sense then. As someone previously said best be safe and a week behind then 6 weeks behind with a broken ankle or arm or at worst laid off for longer.

I didnt work Monday as my old army unit was marching out of its barracks and I got an invite to attend. They had been there since the 1800's and now the lease has expired the MOD have moved them to Woolwich.
Up at 04.30 and train to London. My wife said 'if you dont go you'll regret it' and I would have done. Splendid day, saw old mates and the local area of St. Johns Wood laid on a brilliant farewell with thousands lining the high street. Ended up with a Royal Salute in Hyde Park.
I clean the Commanding Officers windows!
Back to work today!
