If anyone is driving/travelling to North Surrey or South London tomorrow take the day off! We've had 9 or 10 inches and all the roads are either gridlocked or closed at the mo. I'm just back from a 9 mile 5 hour walk to collect my daughter from school. Those of you who know me will wonder how i've lived through that to be able to type this.

Side roads are impassable.

Took my daughter to school at 8. as you say light dusting, by 10 I knew it was all going to go tits up. If i'd gone in the car I would still be out there now.

We had 6 or 7 inches last Friday/Saturday and its been snowing all day again, it not got over -3 in nearly a week and all the roads have been icy as fuck, fucking fed up with the snow already.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

And hooray sutton council also. They were boasting last week they had 50000 tonnes of salt. I'm guessing they still have 49999 left in the yard the fucking idiots.

I walked home in the snow. It was lovely, but a bit dodgy walking downhill when the snow melted to ice

To be fair I did see one gritter on my marathon hike. It was stuck on an incline and had blocked the road off! |

Weird how central London is so vastly different to everywhere around it - is a few inches of snow too much to ask?? We've had very little so far.
