bossman Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 @all: Amber warning for tomorrow from the Met office for the North East but I doubt if we will be closed, won't know until the morning if I get a phone call that is! more likely to find out from my senior techie who manages the website.
rad Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Advantages of updating the website, you know first. Disadvantages of updating the website, you get woken at stupid o'clock. I dont mind getting woken up, but only if I get to stay in bed all day!
glennda Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) My road has been closed by the police - mainly because people use it as a cut through for a main road and that in the last 3 days 4 cars have been written off into lamp posts! Roads are mainly fine here although have started getting very icy. Edited January 20, 2013 by glennda

I dont mind getting woken up, but only if I get to stay in bed all day! I'm not sorry to have shed that responsibility. Not only was I updating the website, but I lived closest to school. So the decision had to be made based on the view from my windows. It meant I was just getting up at stupid o clock to text the HT so she could officially make the decision I suggested!

elsiegee40 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Just had email: Son's school in Tonbridge officially open. Governor school in Cranbrook: Closed.
glennda Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 My Nephews school and one of the local academys are closed, secondary at the end of the road is planning to open and my last school is too.
elsiegee40 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Ok. I was wrong. Half Kent is closed today. Son's school still open, mine closed.
googlemad Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Our place is closed, actually there is naff all on the website yet which is very poor just an email from the principal to all staff distribution list (Despite the fact all the students have an email and a all students distribution list too...oh never mind!). I think this could quite possibly be the best Monday morning ever
PyROm Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Just got a message saying our school is shut, 30 mins after I normally set off.
Devontechie Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Alot of Hastings schools are closed. A few got late opening..
Gatt Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Well, we finally got the snow today - though our council seem to be rationing the grit as, despite the amount of gritters that have been whizzing past, we still ended up with enough snow to cover the tread of my tyres resulting an an impromptu 180° slide out of my street onto the main road! Fortunately I wasn't going very fast and didn't collide with anything or anyone! Though the guy approaching me suddenly realised just how fast he was going as he tried to brake without hitting me and skidding off himself!
laserblazer Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 We are open today (Worcester). We had light snow for most of Sunday but it didn't start to pitch until late afternoon as the temperature dropped, so we only got a light dusting. It's the really difficult stuff to scrape off the windscreen.

It's the really difficult stuff to scrape off the windscreen. That's what I was expecting to get up to this morning (a dusting of snow is worse to remove than ice!) About an inch round our way and was still falling as I left...
Max_Power Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Couple of CMs in Manchester nothing amazing, were open as usual :-(
rickjames Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 School open, as expected. Lessons delayed until period 2 but most staff getting in without any issues.

mrbios Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Roads are lovely and safe here......pity i can't say the same for the pavements! Roll on Wednesday, i can finally move house
januttall Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 were under 4" and its still coming down hard and fast here. but were still open despite very few of the local roads have not been plouged and gritted
Andrew_C Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Ok. I was wrong. Half Kent is closed today. Son's school still open, mine closed. Now THAT is the right way around!
6Foot2 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Now THAT is the right way around! My son's school is closed. However mine [my place of work] is open.
sted Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 My son's school is closed. However mine [my place of work] is open. slave labour day lol 1
nyiss Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 We were in the orange on Friday, school closed for kids at 1:00 local staff had to stay till then but the rest of us were told to go so i was in at 9 and out by 10, was hoping for something similar today as it is snowing and all the buses were delayed but its due to stop at 11 so its unlikely -.-
