who got the "unexpected" snow this morning then?

[Ducklakeview]

We did, bloody shedloads of the stuff..

I normally have a lie in on a Thurs, well until 0810 as I'm not in the shop all day. Was planning to take the boys to school, go to the cash and carry and generally have a lazy day.

Until I was woken by a phonecall from a staff member @ 8am, asking if I had looked out of my window yet. I did and was greeted by this.

She then went on to tell me her schools were closed, hence no childcare...

So I tore out of the house, thinking "need to get to cash & carry"

Fires up Waze in the van, as I always do because of the live updates, and my journey to the C&C which normally takes 18 mins tops in the rush hour is, and delays increasing...

Sod that I thought - I'll go straight to the shop and go tomorrow..

40 mins later, I'd just gotten off our estate, the traffic on the main road was so bad. Journey to the shop normally 15 mins = 1hr 5min.

So that's me feet up, cup of tea and bingeing on old TV for the next 13 hours

Snow rant over!!

Boys were happy though!

Much ado about nothing.. I'm telling you - Hitler missed a trick back in the day, could have saved all his bombs and just dropped 12" of snow, would have had the same effect!
