robert.mabbutt Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I was half expecting to wake up find no Snow and the sun starting to get through! But no! snow snow everywhere. Guess who hasn't been told about the procedure if the school closes. ME!!! luckly I still live at home (only 21!) and my mum works at the same school so she got a call off a collegue. But if this wasn't the case I would have headed into work found its closed! Now I can see how we got our Investors In Peolple status! Sorry for slight rant at least i snow and a chance to catch up on some work at home creating user guides and sorting training material out Robert
Zoom7000 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Heh! Our Headteacher would want us to come into work even if there was 6ft of snow! Let alone 6 inches! We had a huge flood in a block in our school a few months ago and she still opened the school. Just closed off that block! You're earning £100k+ a year, take a day off dammit! No day off for me!
Andrew_C Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 What snow? This mornings dusting has all melted. :-(
Pottsey Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Starting to worry a little here as we are open and most of our pupils have school provided transport. Late transport means a late working day. Someone has to stay behind while waiting for the transport that’s stuck in snow or traffic. With a bit of luck the tranport will leave early and get here on time.
gwendes Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 What snow? This mornings dusting has all melted. :-( Here too - we never get anything for long - too much salt about. All open and sunny
alan-d Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 Snowflakes are getting bigger and more numerous now - I'm not sure how long this reporter can broadcast for - it's really coming down now - further reports will follow unless I get buried 8O
indiegirl Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 All schools in MK closed as well... ... now I'm gutted that I don't work in a school any more... I'm in work today (although not many people are). The joys of working in a remote location... (and yes, it's really remote...)
SpuffMonkey Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Nice and deep and still coming down here (Northampton) - nearly everything is shut - excellent!
contink Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Voted to stay home today and get on with work here.. Whether the schools are open or closed, I don't fancy my chances on the A1 or the M62 when the usual idiot savant drivers discover their cars don't control so well on snow or slush at 85mph...
projector1 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 about 2" of snow here, just another 4 to go! (according to the met office)
bishopsgarthstockton Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 i supposed to be on my CCNA course but some dipstick has stollen the copper wire that controls train signals. so i cant get the train to were i need to go. trains have been delayed for more that 2 hours now
ChrisH Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Just started snowing here 30 mins ago. Doesnt look to serious though.
webman Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 It's about time Railtrack upgraded to fiber Oh, no.. that would involve spending money, sorry Btw, where do you go for CCNA?
alan-d Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 I think we are getting all the snow that we missed out on last year Typical Council - late with everything
amyr Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 well my school is open today however i'm snowed in as i live 10 miles away from it in a village with dodgy access roads and we've got about 3 -4 inches of snow. It's stopped snowing now but has been snowing quite heavily all morning. so i'm sitting at my desk at home watching the snow out of the window whilst doing some work on the school website and starting to build the school intranet site. oh and i've lost my voice as well as i've got a cold and its just started snowing again!
