Snow kingdom - aka Ipswich

It's just started to settle thickly in West Kent. Both my teens are hopeful that the last day at school will be off tomorrow.

 

I've got a physio appointment I really need to get to tomorrow. Trouble is, I don't know if it's Kent's turn for the gritter tonight!

[leco]

All residential roads have pack snow on them, all major routes having been gritted are driveable. Pavements? Slippy and it's still coming down and freezing on impact. We've just driven home with the back brake frozen on (!!!) bit hairy going up a steep hill out of a camp site, but hey this is December in Yorkshire what more can we expect?

I'm expecting that one as well as website, phone system auto attendent changing. I hope the Internet at work doesn't go down as I cannot do the phones that easily remotely at present

[Haptic]

Snow here in Kettering bet I still have to go work though lol

[john]

Closed with us got the early wakeup call and done the website and phone system, I've been told that I sound half asleep on the Phone System - its two recorded messages merged so you get a generic welcome which I did in the middle of summer and then the one I did this morning off my mobile so I'm bright and chirpy then half asleep on the next bit lol

[matt40k]

Well... I'm at work

[WStore_Dan]

Had to kick the girlfriend out of bed this morning to drive me 40 miles to work! I dont think riding in this would have been advisable!

[witch]

It has just snowed here for about 10 minutes

Probably the best we are going to get.

Still bitterly cold though

I'm the first person in my schools so far to fall flat on my face this morning. Walking from the main building to one of the pre fab classrooms at the end of the playground.

 

Had quite a bambies first steps look about it until I landed on my head

Stuck at work and all the roads surrounding the school have been shut, no idea how I'm getting home! Still snowing loads and getting worse and worse, I can't just walk as I live 35min drive away!

[WStore_Dan]

Delighted! She has to pick me up yet!

Northamptonshire is absolutely beautiful in parts in this weather. Woke up at 5:30 this morning to find a good 6-8inches and had to dig the car out with shovel. Love driving in the snow, it's a wonderful experience, just very wary of other drivers and the occasional lapse of concentration; similar to a roundabout near me that had 9 cars dotted around the outside with fronts/bonnets/bumpers/lids missing :/

Got to work after an hour and a half "drive" though, and watched it snow even heavier at times. Really is lovely and for the first time in years I feel that little bit more festive as a result.
