    Well that’s the second day off work today due to the weather,can hardly see the cars now and digging out will be a nightmare.
    nothing for it but to stay indoors until it stops snowing but the wind has picked up so we will see how much drifting (not of the car variety) we get .
    cant see the wall at the side of the drive can’t see the steps up to the garden (for the dogs) .
    so who is attempting to go to work by whatever means and who is in the house ?

    I’ve started digging the snow on the street so I can hopefully get to work tomorrow. Just was no way to get up the hill with a foot and a half of snow there and no grit. Not worth putting yourself at risk if you don’t have to. Will prob cost me a days holiday today but so be it...

    Wifey away to work again in the 530d - who says RWD doesn't work in this weather?

    I went for a jog last night, had to use the road as the snow on the path was nearly at my knees


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    I work on the bins for the council so if I don't go in I don't get paid. Been there the last 2 days and will be there the rest of the week as well
