As you are probably aware, we have had two days of snow recently. As usual, a big fuss about (almost) nothing... Although I did leave the bike at home, but that was only because our estate is, usually, the last place in the entire midlands to get clear roads!
Anyway, the bus ride into work and back on Thursday was uneventful, and surprisingly swift! Due to all the schools being closed for the day, the traffic was very light, and the roads were nowhere near as bad as was expected.
Friday morning was a little slower, but friday night!! I left work at 17:00, and arrived home at 18:30, having walked the full 6 miles in the snow. In that time I passed 10 busses that I could have caught, saw three BMW's failing to get up (fairly gentle) hills - mainly due to the driver having too heavy a right foot, five abandoned cars and a two lane tailback that measured over 4 miles!!
This morning was warmer (2 degrees) and raining, which has cleared the estate completely. Unfortunately, we also had a power cut at 5:30 - 8:30 AM so it was a little chilly in the house - ah well.
