How Much Snow So Far?

Well said.

 

Taken me 6 hours to get from West Drayton to Berkhamsted...was stuck on A41 for about 3-4 hours :dismay:

Trains were running but the road wasnt gritted and terrible

 

Hemel (work) to Wendover (home) normally takes 30mins
Last night left work at 4pm home at 8.30pm.

Still friend from work left at 4.20 she got home (Aylesbury) at 12.50 this morning.

Snow day today work from home a41 shut. Damn (A little walk up the hills in my lunch hour i think)

 

Walked to get the car this morning then sailed in, someone actually gritted the roads, woohoo! Some of the tales of people getting home last night were awful. Anyone who uses the A41 was, (and still is), f***ed. Someone should be shot for the gritting situation.

 

Saw 1 gritter last night and ..........it wasn't gritting. Someone should be shot for the a41.
As for tales i resisted to tell my toilet related story. All i'll say is the more you try and not think about it the worse it is. I made it home to struggle with key in the lock, fell over the cats, wade through the excited kids only to find the wife in the toilet:forehead:
is there a better feeling once the pressure is off?

 

Why??

Funny as **** to see one of the lorries stuck for well over an hour :]]

 

Get In, coursework in for Thursday and I still havent done it

 

Just got a bit of snow so far here in Harefield, not to heavy at the moment.

 

Yaaaaay.

 

Wierd snow, it's more like that packing material at the moment. Been ordered to get down Tesco's and stock up so might take a sleeping bag with me!

 

I'm told it was chaos in supermarkets this afternoon as people stocked up for two years of snow so you might need weapons as well.

It is funny stuff, like polystyrene beads.

 

My garden looks like the top of a victoria sponge.

 

Where I live we had no gas over the Christmas period, so no heating or cooking, had frequent power cuts and the two roads heading into my village were cut off. All of this is bloody Bedfirdshire, I suppose that is what I get for living near the scum!

Snowing again now, but the main amount is meant to hit tommorow evening here.

 

The small Tesco in Rickmansworth appears to have had a hoard of locust go through it today. No tomato soup, no sausage rolls, no orange juice, no Tesco's chicken dippers, (yes it's mainly the kids stuff). Everything else on my list was in short supply. It was empty of people too.

 

its been snowing here in bushey for the last 2 hours an just started getting heavy...

 

i think they said that they are low on salt !!! i been told that dishwasher salt is good to use :xmascheesy:

 

had to abandon my car in the hilly part of reading (caversham) after collecting daughter. it was only snowing lightly when i set off to get her but coming down in buckets by the time we were driving home. no chance of getting down/up any of the hills so we walked. took an hour in driving snow to get home. now my car is miles away and i am home in the warm with a big glass of rioja.

who cares about tomorrow.

 

it is but the tablets not so.

 

Sales of cat litter have soared as well, as that works nearly as well as grit apparently!

 

don't think it does. you need the salt in grit to melt the snow.

 

i've heard cat litter also works. It was on the BBC last week. Not tried it though!

 

Getting hammered with snow in Burnham right now. Looks like we're in the firing line for a change. However I'm off skiing Sunday morning and don't fancy Gatwick being closed all week. So while this is nice, it's not welcome at the weekend!

 

not got any in potters bar. uni doesnt shut for anything anyway.

 

Currently 6 inches of snow in Southampton, and it's still snowing now!

It just took me over 3 hours to get from one end of Southampton to the other, which normally takes 15 minutes!

Horrendous stuff!

 

It's fairly settled here in Abbots, hoping for it to continue overnight so I can have a cheeky day off work tomorrow

 

Dont you live like across the road from you work?:]]

I dont want to walk to work today.

 

Schools are all shut today in my area. Yet another bloody day off for those pesky kids!

 

have the whole school ground with 69 other boarders

 

Pretty much all schools in Hertfordshire has closed, mainly because of the heavier snow that is expected later on, rather than what happened overnight.

 

Working from home here, all schools closed, as above, I think it's due to what's coming later. Sub zero temperatures for the rest of the week. I'll be shocked if the Sheffield game happens Saturday.
