I was in and half the permies had called in sick!!!. Nice easy drive into work, and a nice easy drive home until I got off the main roads round where I live. The ****ers haven't gritted!!!!
In the end I had to leave my car about a mile from home and go back this evening with a spade to dig some snow out of the way in an attempt to get traction. Took me an hour to get it home.
If they haven't done any gritting tomorrow I suspect I shall be staying at home. I admit it's good fun driving sideways down the roads, but not so fun when you get stuck in a slippery bit with your wheels just spinning away....
I was planning to do some stuff to (hopefully) impress a potential client of some importance, but the electricity failed mid-afternoon
One might expect that, being adjacent to a Pelican crossing on a busy road and next door to a doctor's surgery (both of which were also fscked), the leccy people might have sorted things out quite rapidly.
But no - it's only just been sorted in the early hours of the morning
I love the snow and I love driving in it. Got up early because I know the traffic is slower. Had fun watching cars trying to get up the hill near me. The drivers think that if they get stuck they need to accelerate more! I hope the snow lasts.

I've just been caught behind 4 cars, at the front was some idiot driving at about 10mph. I wouldn't mind, but the roads have been gritted!
