That was some walk last night at 11pm to pick up said 16 yr old :shock:

Snow was driving into our face's the whole way there and the 2 miles we walked felt like 10. I looked like a snowman at the end :left:

Got to bed at 12.15am which is too late for a postie :Boo hoo!

Of course we have cars but the roads were terrible with the snow, really dodgy and not worth the risk.

Its my day off on monday so iam hoping no more comes down by Tues. :sad:

Bit tricky with the snow here - used those spikies which were pretty good, still got done by 12 so not too bad.

Slightly busier than yesterday. Virgin Media decided to blitz the town with a mailshot. Other than that it was ok.

Total mare of a day down south.

All the snow which came down on sat has now compacted to solid ice. Temp was -5 c when i left for work at 5.30am and stayed below freezing all day. Just took so long on the ice even wearing spikies :cry
Took about 5hr 30 min in total to get around and we were late getting out. Booked over 2hrs extended.

Knacked. Why cant tosser clear their drives of snow when it first comes down, i do :evil/mad

Happy dappy days :nana

Don't f*cking go to work if it's too dangerous. I'm not going tomorrow if it gets any worse. I'm not putting my body and bones on the line for this job. I was out in the snow last winter and it was a f*ckig joke. No concern for our safety whatsoever.
