All been gone for two days now.Originally Posted by jodg
Don't know about anyone else, but a sense of normality has returned today. Packed the kids off to school, roads weren't as bad once I got off our hill and even managed a few chores in exotic Holmfirth. C'est la vie....
Still stacks o' snow piled up though!
That's the beauty of 'west coast living'!
Still loads here, Stunning day lots of sunshine. I've been for a run this morning, not the one I'd planned but good enough, the back of the golf course which is about 400m from my house it was still thigh deep in places. Lots of cross country tracks about and the snow is still fresh , no crust and no slush, more tommorrow apparently
Had a mate staying up here in Sheffield for long weekend. He's a supply teacher and had several weeks work booked starting Tuesday so left Monday morning.
It took him just over 2 hrs on the train to London, 2 hrs 20 mins to get from London station to home.
He got up the next morning, found his local station shut and a note pinned to office door "NO TRAINS - THANKS" so phoned the school to say he'd be late. No reply so he phoned the agency. They said sorry all schools are closed didn't you know?
He went home.
One of today's papers had the headline "TEACHERS NEED TO SHOW MORE GRIT"
More snow forecast for the next day or so.
And its icy now, just wobbled and wheel slipped home on my bike, next week looks bad as well
They should be so lucky!

aye not much of the stuff about... they seem to be low on stocks, them councilours seem to think global warming means better winters and warmer summers.. alias the variance is far from the truth.
It's cold out side, the clouds look heavy and.....
ITS SNOWING
Great conditions here. Over two feet of snow! (well both of my feet were covered in snow!)
Just back from an hours run in perfect conditions - felt like 3 hours of effort ploughing through the snow. Doubt if I can drive into work as the village is cut-off by the snow. Looking forward to another long run later today.
