Actually we had a whole nine inches in my section of south-East Kent and the whole of life came to a standstill. Folkestone / Dover / Deal are headline news.
I find the fact that all the schools were closed - even if I gained near-dawn private puff time - is rather pathetic.
We're supposed to have the Spirit Of The Blitz in this country, after all.
Yesterday afternoon, there were a few snowflakes and the kids where I work quietly texted their parents to come and collect them because school was going to close early. A haemmorage (sp?) of children started, with squeals of injustice from those left behind.
The kids I teach wouldn't use the term squeals of injustice. Not fucking fair, more like, but you develop your own ways to cope n care.
So many kids were collected that the place did actually close early.
Anyway, I'll get my snow blower out for tomorrow's crack at the filthiest of habits.
Nine inches of snow is nothing to sneeze at Brother.
But seriously folks, my amigo in the US just told me today that he has had over 75" of snow since December, and the blizzard the other day left 5 to 6 foot drifts in his lane. Bummer!
Like you senor Baltimoran....he's never been so tired from plowing snow as he has since he started with the storm last Friday - been plowing his 1/2 mile drive everyday since....and he still got his Kabota stuck in a drift today.
You Yanks are tought hombres!
