Let it snow let it snow!

Woke up this morning to snow! The proper stuff- not that light dusting that often paralyses the south of the country but the proper northern kind! Of course with their usual optimism GMTV never likely to panic the nation were warning people not to travel unless their journey was urgent. We have that every year. What constitutes urgent then? Do people genuinely stay home from work at the first sign of the white stuff?  :)

I remember in the "good old days" when we used to have a proper winter in the UK, and plenty of decent snow...but the country seemed to cope better with the weather conditions then. There were no alerts about travelling on the TV or radio, trains still managed to run etc. When and why did it change? My dad used to take us to school on our sledge, that was so cool!

When I was in primary school (age 4) we had to go in to school.Even when I was in High school in the early 70's we didn't get time off school because of the weather. About 10 years ago there was a really heavy snow storm and I couldn't get home from work and had to stay the night. It was the only time I can say that I slept with my boss. :o 8) :o

Been snowing fairly heavily here today and the temperature is now plumetting, so going to work tomorrow is going to be challenging especially as the Council appear to have been caught out AGAIN by a well forecast snowfall ARGHHH.
