Any of that clunge is yours for the price of a Greggs sausage rurl. I'd be happy enough with the weather if I worked near Dean Street, office is over by Killingworth which is terrible.

Still loads of snow around here and tricky underfoot as some of it has frozen rockhard and a lot of the roads and areas clear of snow
are icy.

A Limo, picking up for a 60th birthday broke down around the corner and blocked the only way out of the estate. A replacement came later and all the 60th party people, high heels etc, had to walk all the way to the main road.

I still don't believe you. I reckon you're just making it up to show off.
We're not impressed you know

belting down here

25 minutes to do the last 2 miles
still, home, with wine.

Just taken the dogs out for a walk, snowing like mad, with several inches of snow on the ground. Been snowing here for most of the day. I'm supposed to be going to my parents tomorrow in Markfield but at this rate I'll be lucky to get off the drive.

I thought somebody told me that it was only in Britain that wintery conditions cause such delays. Don't you have a system that clears the snow before it has even fallen out of the sky.

Beggars Belief isn't it, the furore? Surely if snow comes down that heavy in such a short space of time countries will close down regardless.

It's about time the Transport Minister (or higher) made this simple statement - "FFS people, get real!"

This has been frustrating me for a while too. Geneva airport was shut for a bit last week but everybody seems to think ours are the only ones shutting down.

The Minnesota Vikings have had this happen to their stadium:

And yet some people talk like we're the only ones who struggle

East Mids predicted to take a heavy hit of snow tomorrow morning.
