They knew the snow was coming so what is the matter with our 'elected' representative's? Maybe it's time for change!! Hope you are okay Paul, take it easy mate. Thinks....maybe you need to start clearing the roads with a heater or something right now (hair dryer perhaps?) in time for the 25th (nod, nod, wink, wink) Lol My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Drove 15 miles into work on an unscheduled visit this afternoon after leaving Mon AM to a new site, as new staff couldn't make it in and a colleague had spent 22 hours on duty and I think ready to go home-----if anyone could come in to relieve him.

There was no grit left in our bins to put on our treacherous cul-de-sac - but I did notice that some of the people round the corner had really clear drives! How silly is that - it should be used for the roads not the drives and they should charge them for using it on their drives! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Left at 5-45 this AM and the so-called primary route was still pretty slippy as it was ice all the way home; then onto the side roads goes from bad to worse. Parked where I'd left from as none of my neighbors cars have moved at all, and still covered in snow. I'm now expected to go back tonight to my new site I'll be working at, so go through it all agian. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
