Smiffish Winter Weather Watch

[Uncle Leo]

London bright blue skies !!

Trains empty, the skivers in my office are having a field day, waited 15 mins for a train then went home, bet they wouldnt do that if not being paid !! Always the same people in the office :angry::angry:

Ha, some folk do give up a bit easily don't they! I did bring my work laptop home last night just in case, but woke to nothing more than a bit of frost. We're not expecting anything in Herts until Thursday and even then I don't think it'll be much.

Some people are so stupid.

A post that could have gone on just about any SZ thread.

According to residents, heaviest snowfall in 47 years on the Peninsular at Hollesley City, Suffolk. Happy Days!

Really coming down in Benfleet now...

Massive downfall last night in Kent. Still snowing. 6 inches and growing. Huskies love it!

6 inches and growing. Mrs Napster loves it!

Really no need for that at all Paul!

Kent always gets clobbered. Been on the radio all day about how bad it is there.

Its having a go in South Ockendon at the mo. There is a fishing lake that runs along side the tip that has frozen over. A duck was looking very confused trying to work out how it was in the middle of a lake and its feet weren't wet.

Saw on facebook that there wasn't even a dusting in Chafford Hundred this morning, I've been in Sevenoaks since late last night, and it is completely covered, barely stopped snowing since I arrived. I knew it was particularly bad around here, when it featured on the lunch time news.

To make matters worse, I've been stuck indoors all day waiting for workmen and the postman for some urgent signed for items....And yep you've guessed it...neither have shown up due to the bad weather.

I live in Hertfordshire too. I've driven half the way round the M25 with no trouble at all. Getting home might not be so easy...

You can get arrested for that.

whoa, really pelting it down in Hammersmith now.

Funny thing is...there is a work ski trip this week, with loads of folk going to Austria for a couple of days. And it looks like, because of the snow, they won't be able to fly out there!

Do your employers foot the bill for this?

Do your employers foot the bill for this?

Yes:

PBS pays for
• Flight
• Accommodation
• Full board
• Transfer
• Ski pass,
• Activities

Anyone going has to use holiday time rather than booking them as work days,

Our part of the business has its HQ in Vienna so it is very much 'what they do'. I'm not going as (a) I don't want to go on holiday with my colleagues and (b) it is only open to people who can actually ski.

There's always Hammersmith flyover.

Not saying it’s cold but this wanted a lift from the hospital . I think it suffers from bipolar

Fair to say I've had a pretty easy week this week so far. Did some work Monday but not much since!

Where you live!? All driving duties were suspended today and yesterday not a lot got out! Can't see much going out tomorrow I hope! :winking:

Saw a couple of pics in a Southend group of posties out today and yesterday in their shorts in the snow!
