What is hacking you off today?

[Uncle Leo]

School closures already for tomorrow!

Just got confirmation that my two are off tomorrow. Not that it is hacking me off - good luck to them.

Twerps that have no idea of basic driving skills, in general & more particularly in today's light dusting of snow. How do they not realise that distances between cars need to be greater or that trying to pull away by revving and spinning the wheels is wrong rather than gentle clutch and second gear? Why, why, why?

Indeed. All the schools up here are closed it seems.

Had enough of Christmas already!

 

[Uncle Leo]

Not being able to get the Christmas tree today because of the snow. Today has felt like a bit of a wasted day.

And the massive amount of snow sitting atop the tree in my back garden is starting to worry me. The tree is looking a little bit under pressure...

So, hubby has just left to get clients from a flight now due in at 12.30. It's foggy, it's been snowing....I hate this time of year.:sad:

Did he get there and back ok? I presumed the M25 was ok.

Yes, thanks, flight was over an hour late landing, they didn't believe him when he said about the snow as they didn't see any sign of it on the way back until back in Essex! Journey was fine in the end, and temperature was above freezing then too.

It's peeing down with rain. What snow left will be gone by lunch time.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

It's turned more sleety now but if the temperture drops too much tonight then tomorrow is going to be hell on the roads. Blackheath Hill is going to be fun for me.

Belmont Road please!

People wondering why, unlike Scandanavia & Switzerland, we don't have an army of snow ploughs to deal with the piddly bit of snow that we get. #youknowhoyouare :whistling:

Reports from home (Hemel Hempstead) are that the heavy snow has just started again. Most main roads were fully clear as I made my way in this morning, but my street is still covered in about four inches of snow.

No new snow here but still a fair bit on the pavements. Mostly slush on the roads.

I've arrived at our Hammersmith office in wellies, which got a few giggles. They didn't realise how bad it was in Hertfordshire. They don't understand because they weren't there maaaaaan!

If it makes it any more bearable, (probably not), the same sort of chaos ensues (and the subsequent moaning about it) here in Barna whenever it snows, (which fortunately is not that often).

A phone call from my ther half confirms this.

Just worked it out. I've got 11 years of weather data covering the entire GB (so "snowy Scotland" & the north), only 0.81% of those records show a snowfall of >1mm in any 3 hour span. Snowmageddon!

Drove my wife's car to work this morning to pick up my laptop and come home again. I can't use my car because I can't get it out of the driveway. Her's is a 4x4. I would have stayed at work, but she needed the car to take our eldest to hospital for a blood test. (School is shut.)

Anyway, I'm home. I log in and get a message saying the number of concurrent users has been exceeded, please try again later!

Is there a more facile Monday morning work comment than 'ooh, did you have your hair cut this weekend'?

Another contender is the "did you get my email?" question, asked all of 30 seconds after the email was sent.

leaving Philadelphia at 2am.

Sounds like your life got flipped upside down.
