    It's snowing here in Alton - maybe a centimetre so far, with more still coming down. The chap who cleans the block my flat is in can't get home and has just startled the heck out of me by rustling around in the stairwell downstairs (my building is normally empty at night, but there was something alive down there...). He's now bedded down on a camping roll and a couple of old sleeping bags. He lives in Four Marks - ironically, his best bet of getting home tomorrow is probably going to be the heritage steam train line that runs from Alton.

    Did I hear that Alton dropped to -16C the other night? I know you're out in the sticks, and up a hill, but that is ridiculous.

    The thought of travelling along the Watercress line through fields of snow...

    Like fixing your car you mean...... You may get a day like I had where the power went bang and no VPN can work if your servers are down

    Closed here too but not before I got in. Time to re-install ePortal after the December upgrade did not take.

    Closed here and I'm the only one in! Got an email from a parent at 7.06am complaining that the website hadn't been updated. It was a bit dodgy on the roads, none had been treated.

    I used to think that too, until the time I got stuck in a 4 mile queue of non-4x4s stuck in snow
