It doesn't seem that bad SO FAR. Apparently there is meant to be loads coming our way but the roads were dead this morning!

I live in Kent and have an hour commute. Decided to "work" from home as I didn't want to get stuck at work or on the M20 for hours on the way home. Ground is already covered in snow so I think I made the right decision.

Drive to Lichfield was easy. But it's coming thick and fast now. It will be on Cov soon.

The bin men were out so it can't be that bad. Usually any sight of snow and they don't bother.

Dropped the missus off at work in town no probs this morning and the roads were fine about half 8ish but then driving out to my work just before half 9 and the roads have gone very slippy. Back end of the motor slipped out going round a roundabout but luckily managed to keep control.

Be careful out there kids!

If it doesn't stop soon football will be off tomorrow the pitch will be fine it's just the safety conditions around the ground

Left Work at 12:30 by Northampton and got home about 25 miles away about 15 minutes ago! Going up hills was abit sketchy, but not has bad as coming down the other side!

If you haven't left work by now, might as well just settle in! AA Traffic is just a map of red lines!!

School closed midday, I was at PK (which wasn't closed!) and my school didn't send my taxi (they send a taxi to pick up consortium students back to the school) so it was a very long walk home!

Pizza Hut closed, no work for me!

Good day today!
