What area? And how much snow?

[Parmyarmy25]

Huddersfield had about 3 inches

[Charliecat]

Same here . North Yorkshire too!

[ripio]

No way they would cancel deliveries because of 3 inches of snow here.

Any excuse to save money, covid, now snow. I presume that the hrs will have to be paid back?

[Parmyarmy25]

No pay back
was told not to risk any unsafe areas today due to icy conditions so left about a row problem is 60%of walks are on foot so rely on service runs and they wouldn't risk going out in snow
going to be playing catch up for a few days

I was out on a deep rural today in it and it wasn’t much fun. Nearly slid the van off a couple of country roads, with it due to get worse overnight and in the morning I think a good few drops on that job will be “inaccessible” tomorrow.

Surprised at this. Wasn't loads of snow here but was some the problem yesterday was it never got above freezing and streets, some that don't get sun especially, were like ice rinks and every other footstep your foot was slipping away from yourself yet RM don't see too bothered about you been out in it all day. Just the usual be careful but don't bring anything back

Half inch of white powder should keep the drug dealers of the streets for a day or two!
