Yeah, SWW, although I do love the white stuff, I know what you mean... last year we had a sudden snow storm here in Swindon - couldn't have been more than a couple of inches at most, but it fell very suddenly. Took me hours to get home, despite living about 2 miles away from where I worked
It's fine if it snows overnight, cause then you just phone your boss to say you're staying at home all day, and then you don't get caught up in all the problems. Luckily, my boss now lives in a secluded village about 15 miles from the office, so he'd not be at work in any case
