I live in a small village - got up this morning to find 9 inches of snow on the roofs of the car and van.

The lane we live in is impassible and the main road through the village hasn't been gritted.

So I'm going to play with the dogs in the snow - they love it !

Steve, I can probably get out but I dont think my clients that have booked for today will really want the work done so I am going to re-schedule. I think it will be better from tomorrow, hopefully.

It's still snowing here Phil, so I can't see it improving anytime soon.

The council classify our lane as a D road so they wouldn't grit it anyway, but the fact that they haven't gritted the main road makes you wonder what we pay them for.

My girlfriend works for Toyota which has 800 employees - they are expecting less than half that in to work today.

As you say, even if you can get to work would your clients want it done, plus the logistics of trying not to walk snow through the hall every time you go back and forwards to the van.

Here in Warrington, north Cheshire we have got off very lightly.  Not much on the ground - wont cause any problems I dont think.  Maybe a bit worse towards Manchester and the Pennines.

We have got some snow here in stockport about an few inches on the ground but guess the main roads will have been gritted.

Weird to see Barcelona on the same temperature as Glasgow in December and January. Over the past couple of weeks London has been, on several occasions 6 or 7 degrees colder than up here.

The birds have be pairing up over the past couple of weeks, swans moving into their nesting areas, etc. Something has certainly changed, weatherwise.

Definately not worth going out in snow, especially if you're not used to it.

Work on your web site, or marketing.

Anyone remember the Meteors?

3 piece leather suite at 2.30.
My road is under 5 inches of snow but main routes are clear.
They have a policy of always keeping the bus routes clear here.
