Snow Updates

[Boss Hog]

It's started again up here in vain again.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

[Robusto]

Got back to my smoke shack at last today after being snowed out 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.
