            The school has just called to say they are closed for the rest of the week.

            Oh well, I'd better carry on building the igloo in the garden. It's about three feet high now.

              Yeah i've just got a text from school to say the local authority has closed all the schools tomorrow and it is likely they'll be shut on Friday too.

                Pah, snowmen. Building a great big ball of snow that will take ages to thaw out is the way to go. Of course you can combine this activity with building a huge snowman.

                Top tip: Make them on a slope - they get jolly heavy and hard to roll just as they are really growing rapidly in size. Rolling downhill helps a lot.

                Top tip 2: Don't make them on too great an incline

                    As suspected, flight from Basel to LHR - cancelled.

                    I'll have to go next week now. Oh well. Skiing tomorrow.

                      She's been out playing in the snow ALL day, she's come in to change her icicle encrusted clothes 3 times.

                      I actually went out and shoveled the snow off my neighbours steps.
                      I did try the drive, but as its sheet ice under all the snow, I soon gave up on that for health and safety reasons
