wow, it looks pretty good out there but if anything bad happens i doubt work will be refunding the excess i could incur if i attempt to drive to work.

looks like im staying put, but theres a good 5-6 inches of it out there
 
I've decided to work from home today, driving in the snow isn't something I'm eager to do.
 
everything i do in the office could easily be accessed on a remote network but nothing has been setup. at the junction i live next to there has already been a couple accidents and cars are getting stuck left right and centre. no point risking it tbh

This country sucks after a light bit of snow! God knows what would happen if we lived somewhere where they have proper winters!

Then we would have the infrastructure to deal with it, bad snow doesn't happen frequently enough in the UK to warrent spending 100 million on snow plows etc.
 
And the mass skive begins. I do hope they make you take annual leave.

It's the one time this year when there is actually some point in having a 4wd yawnaudi instead of a proper car, now go to work.
 
get a grip people, it's just some snow, hell earlier this year I was one of few who got to work, on a motorbike!

i sent a email around letting everyone know they were being lazy &^%$£% ;)
 
I was looking forward to lots of snow to drive to work in this morning, but no there's like 2cm on the pavements and the roads are all clear :( No fwd dorifttooooooo for me


When we had the UberSnow© earlier in the year I tried to get to work but the roads were gridlocked, and my boss phoned me and told me not to bother :)

Move here, where this is no snow and there wont be any, ever. We only have one sort of weather - 'meh'.
 
No, I'll end up crashing the MX5 and it stays away from salt if at all possible :D

Its not gonna insta-rot, great fun in light snow, when you get a dusting take it round the block or something.

I could quite easily drive in the snow, but not everyone can. My journey to work would no doubt take twice as long.

I work from home most days anyway, so it's easier for me to not go out in the snow.

Yeah I probably will take it to a carpark or something tbh, last year the car would have been half buried in it though had I driven in it, the amount we had!


Supercharger on monday to make it even more treacherous :cool:
