    Snowed a lot last night, about a meter and a half.
    07:00 this morning footpaths and roads all cleared.

    I do not live in the UK
    (I really didn't need to say that)

    More snow forecast for tomorrow, so I need to make the necessary, emergency preparations. I'll get a few extra bottles of wine on my way home this evening.

    Brow top road was a bit tasty early this morning, but fine this afternoon. I'm going to be going down it again in the morning, if I get stuck I'll give you a shout!

    No snow here in central Scotland.

    One time in Y2K I knew snow was due overnight so I got up at 5am to dig the car out. Still stuck at 7am so called the manager to tell him I would just WFH. He insisted I went in so, instead of working, I spent the morning digging myself out the whole street.

    I decided then I would get a 4x4 as I didn't want to miss a day's billing at any future ClientCos and I've had one ever since.

    Looks like I'll be WFH tomorrow as well unless there is a massive thaw. It hasn't stopped all day and there are some very deep drifts.

    It's a wine bar. Terrible by definition!

    No snow here (well there was about 1mm yesterday but its buggered off), a bit non-tepid though, then again I'm semi-benched so I don't really have to go out until next week or this evening
