Snow depth is now about 55cm. Walking to work this morning in the half light was quite surreal :shock: - only abandoned cars on the road! I could almost imagine that I was walking to the boulangerie for my croissants - then I remembered where I really was.:(
The plan is.... there's no plan!

Should read Standstill Britain. Snow still about 3 inches in our part of Surrey with 10-20 cms forecast over the next night and day. Its the ice thats causing our problems at the moment. I have never seen our service roads so bad! sheet ice. The main roads are not too bad its just trying to reach them thats the problem.
I just love the gravitational pull

Just as well you were at Heathrow! Gatwick is shut for the day (Thursday) again.

We're about an hour to the East of Gatwick and have had at least 20cm overnight... for some reason my son thinks he's not going to school today... 8)

Fresh snow overnight, now approx 6-7 inches in our garden. Just dug the OH out of the drive for work :( Gatwick closed again - getting worried now as we are/were flying out on Tuesday :shock: Fingers crossed.
