I got into work ok sadly, if it had been too bad i would have just turned around.

The M6 was standstill going the other way so I hope that clears before I leave work which should be fairly early I think, I'm not risking it in these conditions.

Hope I get my delivery from overclockers today so I can play with my new headphones tonight.

Just about to go into Uni, even though I can just see white were the road and pavement should normally be outside my house. Apparently its "business as usual" *Waits for it all to be suddenly canceled when I arrive*

Apparently a few councils have run out of grit..

My local council hadn't put any down in the first place. Not so much as a single speck.

Roads were significantly better once I reached Sutton Coldfield on my way through to Lichfield this morning, with clear evidence of grading and gritting. I even saw a gritting truck doing the rounds.

No such luxuries in my own neighbourhood, alas.

Mum said they have day off and are playing on the snow. Now wishing I had stayed at home rather than be keen and stay down in London.

I wants to plays in teh snow and go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The snow melted yesterday quite a bit, but I woke up today and the ground is covered again I don't even think my bus is running

Mine was running a limited service, took an hour to get a bus today...although the snowman a girl made whilst waiting was amusing.

Yes, it has hair.

Had about 3 inches today, built an igloo, had a snowball fight.
College closed, bus i use was doing a third of its route for some reason.
But god damn tescos for staying open, I have work at 5 now

If people start panic buying I think I may have to rip them over my till and slap them upside the head with my pimp hand, adds to my hatred of customers.

That picture proves you have a pathetic amount of snow, I'd give the bus driver a talking to. Still nothing around these parts, just sleet sleet and more sleet. Its so warm outside I might have a barby!

Pop over to Swaledale, there's feet of the stuff up there.

Proper snowing in Aber at the mo, but because it was sleeting earlier it's not sticking... BOOOO!

Exactly, it was only a couple inches deep on the roads, and the bus wouldn't drive up/down any of the hills, pathetic.

Seriously though, a bus got stuck on a hill in Reading this morning due to lacking of salt/grit on the roads. So Reading buses decided against sendding buses on hilly routes, which is fair enough.

Looking at those warnings, day off tomorrow for me.
