We had snow again overnight - I blame Mrs Colpot for clearing a path to the gate yesterday - all her hard work undone!:Doh:
Train to work missed Redhill and London Bridge stations due to signal failure so had to go to Farringdon and Tube into work.:Angry: Engineers are saying they dont want to travel out to sticks to do work in case they get stuck. Cant really blame them I suppose :Smile:

I came in to work on the A34 this morning. Passable but terrible conditions...... MADE MUCH WORSE BY THUMPING GREAT LORRIES THUNDERING PAST US AT ABSURD SPEEDS KICKING UP WAVES OF SLUSH THAT MAKES ZERO VISABILITY.

BLOODY IDIOTS.

rant over for now :Smile:

:RollEyes: No snow here for a few days now & I am hoping it stays away. Off to the storage yard now to try & dig the MH out and get it to home. Should be fun as the whole yard was iced over last time I was there & they have been unable to get rock salt to clear it !

Plenty of snow falling in Staplehurst ( Kent ). Trains delayed again - no change there then. Luckily we have a landrover so have been able to get around a bit.

Another 2-3 inches in Surrey and still snowing. Side roads are once again a nightmare. Lots of schools shut.
Please can we have a thaw. We are desperate to get away in the van for a break.

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
Yesterday it was starting to thaw , finally , on our street. ::bigsmile:

Our kids cleared all the drive and the footpath all along the front of our house.
This morning, where the snow was cleared , is now black ice.
As all 3 found when setting off to school at 7.45 this morning. Two of them went flat on their backs :Doh:

Hi, more snow again in Weardale. The truck is in a state of severe depression because it hasnt been out since 15th December when we first got the snow - still here and more coming. Lovely place to live for the rest of the year but winter. I have always thought that the snow forgets to go anywhere else but here, at least others are having their share this time!

Down here in the New Forest we had some snowy, sleetie stuff last night, about an inch of it.

We are the only unit booked in apart from 3 or 4 seasonal units including a 70 YEAR OLD GUY IN A SMALL BACKPACKING TENT, who has been here since November!! When the wardens haven't seen him for a few days they go to his tent and shout out to see if he is still alive!

The temperature is up to a balmy 3c today and a slight thaw setting in. Every time I pass some ponies they look up expectantly with that look your dog gives you when you're carving the sunday joint. Heart breaking innit? They appear to be surviving on bramble leaves and nibbling on spiky old gorse.

Had a bit of snow on and off today but the ice is a bigger issue for us, many schools closed due to black ice, our sons school bus didn't turn up, I couldn't get to car without falling over so gave up on idea of taking them in car.

4 inches fell overnight on top of the 12 inches 30 cm from a few days ago.

According to BBC, there is now 5 foot of snow on the Berwyn Mountains behind the house and the Horseshoe pass is closed.
I dug out the paths yesterday around the house but the bitterly cold easterly wind has blown the snow into 2/3 foot drifts.

We cleared the paths this morning and we tried to clear the mountain track this afternoon but it has snowed all day today and we are back to square 1. At least it is warmer- 0C now
Road down the mountain is too dangerous even for our 4x4.
