Re: [Merged] Snow!
Hope the Brother-in-Law made it OK. He was travelling from West Oxfordshire to the West Midlands at 6am to get home (right through the middle of the the snowbound area).

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Well, because I was due to go away this week we didn't do any shopping at the weekend.
We've now run out of food.
One way or another I'm going to have to get to the shops

Re: [Merged] Snow!
See if your local supermarket is still delivering and shop on-line

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Not sure yet.
Can't get to the local Tesco, that's a 5 mile drive - probably end up walking to the garage (about a mile and a half) or the nearest supermarket (a Rainbow) which is about 2 and a half miles away.
Can't drive, the local roads here are knackered - people have been leaving for work this morning in their cars and then coming back about 20 minutes later.....

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Rained last night so really icy across all the roads. Have no idea if college is on or if the trains are running. Might just go back to bed with a cuppa.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
We're virtually back to normal now. There's still some snow on grassy areas, but since it's raining lightly now I expect that will all go today. Side roads might be a bit slushy, but it's now safer to drive than walk given the ice still on some pavements. Seems like the northern rather than sourthern home counties got the snow last night.

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Survived the walk - this is our main road, as you can see it's been really well gritted

Re: [Merged] Snow!
Yep.
They're predicting more of the same across the bottom of the country, it's completely scuppered my plans for the week - normally that wouldn't be an issue, but it's putting some extremely critical work in jeapordy
