Cardiff would have been fine had the Council actually bothered to grit any roads whatsoever. It's not like you can tell through the power of weather forecast or sight that it was snowing.

Sounds like a great day ahead Bry! Unfortunately I managed to get into work, despite new snow this morning.

It's actually quite ridiculous to be land-locked by such a thin layer of ice and snow. The thing is it only takes a couple of frozen layers to stop play.

It has been dangerous trying to walk my dog around the local streets. I've done a couple of major pratfalls in the dark and ended up with a very sore arse.

Still, I have nothing urgent to do. I'm on my holiday! :cowboyic9:

Not for the first time I might add :smoke:

Way too much snow around my parts. It took forever to dig out yesterday, thankfully we only get this much snow once every five years or so.

[68TriShield]

We only got a flake or two...

[Boss Hog]

"I am just going outside and may be some time."

[nicwing]

Drizzled though lunch but it's snowing again here.

Hertfordshire Mince Pie factory in full swing, starting to think about letting my belt out a notch already!

It's pretty but that's about it... :(

[peanutpete]

f.....g snow was 5 mins from office took me 1.5 hrs err f......g snow

[bigbarneyhotdog]

5 hours to get home from work! Basingstoke was a nightmare :motz:

[Boss Hog]

It's started again up here in vain again.

[nicwing]

3 minutes to walk from the kettle to my lap top, from where I could see it snowing...beautiful!

[cj121]

Bugger all here Mark, although I have my fingers crossed for a flurry or two. Even when it's a PITA, I like it.

[misterbulgarin]

I hope that's it for London and the South East now, as it stands people WON'T be coming for christmas, and that blows.

[Lee Nub]

Bad again here in Wigan today. Snowed all night and belting it down now. Bloody gritters haven't been out either, so most of the roads are skating rinks

[celsis]

It's strange, but it must be a Scottish thing. My daughter lives in Inverness. When the weathermen say "don't travel", people don't travel! Perhaps if those in the south had the same level of understanding, we wouldn't have all the problems we're seeing on the roads!

[moidoid]

I work for the county council. They tell people not to travel because the roads are too bad, but they are not pleased if we aren't in work! Hmmm :confused:

Ah, but that's inept management. Some people are only managers because it was their turn, not because they have any management skills. Local authorities are famous for this!

[monkey66]

Got stranded in Bedfordshire last night after a business trip to Birmingham. My collage put me up and have just got home.

Not winging though, it is just snow and only this heavy every 10 years . Bit crazy to expect local councils to maintain fleets of gritters for this rare occurrence. By the same logic we should all carry snow chains in our boots for the rare occurrence.

[daverave999]

I seem to recall there being a road salt shortage in the UK only last year monkey.

[EDIT] Haha! Nope, it was February this year!

My Christine would kiss you for that!

she did lol:biggrin1:

[Robusto]

Got back to my smoke shack at last today after being snowed out (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4305386&l=03e94b3ab1&id=671008625) lol for a while...

It was pretty out there.

[nicwing]

He he, I was worried Robusto.

- Robo on Holiday!
- Humidor bulgin'!
- Smoke shack under 8' of snow
- Lady wife stuck at home due to white out!
- No smoking in the house!

[Robusto]

Nothing worse than a planned and anticipated delicious smoke cancelled by bad weather and random stay-at-homes. :biggrin1:

[nicwing]

and takes a couple of days to warm up the black leather!

(and I don't mean the lady wife's smalls)

[tippexx]

Snows cleared a bit now. Side roads still like glass though. But through it all Posties managed the daily plod, the kid with the Local Free delivered, someone bunged in a load of menus from Chinese Take-Away .... but no sign of the Binnies and a stack of freezing binbags and waste food buckets (God knows what our Council use it for!) outside every gate for miles!
