Snow?

Reckon we will get much this week in the South East?

From BBC - it suggests that from 10pm tonight we will have snow right through until 5. Have to see it to believe it

G.

Dont believe a word of it

A little snow, no disruption. Thats the end of it for us I bet.

Well at least it wasn't too bad this morning considering how heavy it was falling at 11pm last night.

Hope J. got home ok

G.

St Ben's closed - Ruth chuffed to bits

St Teresas NOT closed - Simon still crying

Poor lad - its a hard knock life.

G.

So who's slacking today?

Our school has opened but its still falling heavily and the roads are bad. A day of fun for me!

How's the rest of you getting on?

G.

Seana's school shut, kids school shut.

Snow coming down bad roads crap train service.

Not left yet was waiting till 11ish before thinking about heading in for lectures. Been working from home on the remote system since 8ish.

Fed up already with it. WANT TO GO TO WORK DAM IT!

Sod's Law

Mary went for an interview in Clackers this morning - I shall be going in in about an hour.

Second day of St Bens closed St Teresa's open.
Simon mightily peeved but determined to enjoy his misery.

I got told off by the Head for starting a snowball fight with my mate Nige in the playground

Dad's in Detention

As for you . . . tut tut tut

G.

heheh dave :-)


Am just about to head in trains at 11:39, fingers crossed it gets into london in record time :-)

its not so much the getting in that worries me but the getting home.

Seana working tonight so we are getting picked up from my mums in witham at about 9.30pm tonight, then for a scary slow drive back down the A12 and frozen back roads. horrah!

My school is shutting at 1.30 and not opening Friday.

Sensible decision considering the state of the roads over here.

G.

Train 11:39 ------- Train arrives london 1:20 ---------- At work 2pm

Wondering if I should just have gone straight back.

Enjoying yer day off Gaz?

That I did.

G.

Really bad here

Hope you are all at home and are safe. Forcast is for at least 4 more hours of this - we could be in for a bad one on Sunday morning . . .

G.

Seana not going to work tonight.

In fact we cant get out of Fordham, roads are impassable in our car and probably only in 4x4. Fiddlers hill death trap.

Stay safe everyone..

Managed to fight my way into work this morning (45min walk in the snow). Uni really should be shut imho.

My Mum, Dad, Aunt and Uncle are all stuck in Denmark at the moment. Were due to fly back Friday afternoon from Copenhagen, but easyjet cancelled and put them up in a hotel overnight. Saturday gave them the news that they don't rebook flights and they would need to make their own arrangements. They managed to rebook using an airport net connection for the next available flight, Sunday at 6pm and had to spend the night sleeping on the airport floor! Sunday morning Easyjet announce no flights again (despite UK news saying Stansted is open).
They have now booked a ferry crossing for Tuesday afternoon from Esp .. something and fingers crossed should arrive in Harwich at 12pm Wednesday. They then need to get to Colchester, pick up a car and then back to Stansted to collect the other car and then back to Colchester.

Gaz if you are still intending to travel to Devon please please please take the utmost care and planning (ie pack shit loads of extra stuff in the car incase you get stuck in the car).

I am just reading on the BBC website that the M5 in Somerset is very bad with people abandoning cars. Also the Met office have issue a sever weather warning for the South West http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html?day=1

Not wanting to spoil you xmas with the inlaws or anything but am just concerned, am sure you are in touch with them about it and the conditions down there, but driving 400 miles in this just scares me and I have to raise my concern as you are a good friend.

Stay safe, what ever you do.

J.

Just checked the BBC weather service for colchester and its saying MORE snow tomorrow :-( WTF :-(

Dont trust it that much thou said it would snow yesterday afternoon from 3-6 and nothing happned.

Compare it to the met office, they are both different, just wait and see is the best bet.
