Managed to make it into work this morning, took me 10 minutes to get from my car park to the centre of the village where I live, it should only take 3 at the most. My whole estate is one big ice rink and took me 4 attempts to make it up a short incline. It also took me 1 hour to get to work due to traffic, again it should only take me 20 minutes at the most.
It's snowing

if its taking you 10 minutes to walk a 3 minute distance you need to buy some boots with a decent tread on the bottom tbh.
if i try to walk around in my regular shows/trainers i would almost slip over a few times beeing careful, but when i take out my boots i can walk around as normal aslong as it isnt proper sheet ice which i doubt any area has yet because its not been warm enough for the snow to melt and then refreeze

I perhaps should have said, it took me 10 minutes in the car. There's an incline right outside my car park, then a straight hill, then a slightly twisty incline. All of this was sheet ice.
yep, at 10.30 when I got in my car it was -9; knutsford.
That's insane!

Been snowing pretty much continuosly here since about 10:30. Heavy stuff with a few lulls to some finer stuff.
More than predicted I have to say, been home 4 weeks and haven't seen the green grass on the garden yet, just snow, little melt, more snow, more snow, little melt, more snow.
Gah, plus whats expected tommorrow, gonna take a while to get rid of all this.

), and I think the snowman came in just shy of 9'.
More snow forecast for us Mancs early Fri morning
Hopefully the Met Office are wrong.
Aggggghhhh!!!! We still only have 2 inches from yesterday and it's not predicted to do more than a couple of short flurries for the next week. Stupid people and your stupid snow. 
It's quite chilly here but that's about it, the roads are starting to regularly ice over as well, even the main ones which is the first I can remember for a long time.
This is in North Herts BTW, surrounded by people who seem to have 6+ inches

, hoping to make it a hat-trick.I really hope. Snow is good, it's just the people that spend all their time inappropriately dressed that have problems. I'm hoping for a foot of snow so I can have some fun!
