Suppose that's a bad thing about being able to walk to work.  I can't call in saying I can't get to work...     :-/

Not quite that bad here yet but I've got to get up and take SWMBO to work tomorrow as she's not comfortable driving in these conditions ::) ::) ::)

To be fair though she did get stuck on the A14 for 12 hours few years back when the snow brought the country to a standstill :o :o :o

DOH ....  I must be going blind then .. just driven back from Swidnod and hardly a cloud in the sky ... damned cold at -4C .. but no sign of snow .... yet ...

And as for digging  you out .. I'm sure a man of your calibre has a set of snow chains in the boot ... if not ... why not ...  :)

A few years back we had a fair old snow fall. Most staff got in apart from two young lads that lived within easy walking distance.
They got in just before lunch time  ::)

I've found the only way to move my mig in reverse in the snow is on the tickover! I got a phone call to cover somebody tonight and it took me 45 to get to Bradford from Halifax. Then when i finished at 2 it took me 1h15 to get home! Definitely gonna invest in some chains! Miggys don't like snow at all!
