      Have you got enough provisions to keep you going?

        Berkshire - a couple of hours ago.

        There is double the snow pictured but has pretty much stopped now.

          Quite a thick blanket of snow in central London now.

          Was planning to buy a mahogany cupboard today, but will leave that.

          Time for my saturday afternoon nap anyway ..

            Lots of snow in London right now. Very bad driving conditions, but everything is within walking distance and the car is not going anywhere. At times like these there are considerable advantages to living in a civilised city Also made a snowman in the garden with swamp junior

              99% of traffic where I am seems to be getting where it wants to go, if somewhat tentatively. However I've seen cars get stuck a couple of times already, and the occupants forced to get out and push. Just seen one car that's had to be abandoned so far...

                Hopefully they'll be no snow tomorrow as still intending to go into work on Monday.

                UK drivers they're ****wits, despite the fact there are icy patches on the road they drive as fast as normal have a spin
                and block the carriageway.

                On Friday I was held up on the A50 as a result of someone doing the above.

                  Flip all here. Just a 1/2 inch overnight. It just missed us yet again.

                  Be careful when you go out, it is filthy out there. Almost as if someone had gone to the four corners of the earth looking for the best filth to spread all over the roads and pavement. It's also having a detrimental effect on the minuscule amount of snow we have.

                    Sure have. Cupboards, freezer and fridge all fully stocked.

                      Still coming down thick here; that's about 7 hours non stop.

                      I'm trying to decide if I can be bothered with going out or not. I wouldn't, but although I have food my alcohol supplies are dangerously low and I'm in a bottle of red wine kind of mood.
                      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
