Snow, snow and more snow

Started again this lunchtime, so another half day lost and more backlogged work.

Quite pretty though.:)

What beautiful scenes, Rolf!

It's awful that you have lost business though, and I hope the thaw sets in quickly to help you out! (Certainly not the weather for going on to roofs though!)

Mike is stuck in on the road as I type. He left work at Fareham at 3.30pm, drove at snail's pace up the M3, and is now stuck 'somewhere in Basingstoke' with no traffic moving at all!

It's snowing heavily there. This morning, ice was the problem with us. We've got no snow here - just LOTS of rain.

Here's one from the front window, the sodium light casts a warm glow over the snow.

Even your ladders look pretty there!:-cthumb

Yes, the warm glow lifts it a bit too. Even the wheelie bins look pretty there - and the shrub on the left creates a 'snowman' shadow!:-sman1

There will be a lot of snow in North Devon tonight. I won't see anylovely scenes like ours thoughRolf :-snowball

Just a quicky - I'm off to bed now, but it was so bad in Reading that the buses shut down and the roads were gridlocked or just empty because nothing could move (they had policemen out pushing the cars up the hills). The taxis weren't moving much either.
I had to walk home - it took me 1 hour 20 and it's killed my joints :-( But as least I didn't have to walk on my own as my boyfirend was in Reading today... oh and I was clever enough to have gone to work with a hiking stick that my lovely brother gave me one Christmas :) :-snowball

Received this pic of his home from Mike a short while ago. It took nearly 4 hours for him to drive from Fareham to Basingstoke tonight. (3.30pm to 7.15pm)

The snow was falling thickly and the roads were like ice! He had to leave his car in a safe place down the road as there was NO WAY he could get it up the hill.

(I guess snow chains might be an idea for conditions like this. Our Dutch friends use them, so why don't we?)

Gosh yes. I remember the Snow chains on the vehicles when I was at RNAS Culdrose

I guess because we normally don't get this type of weather Catherine, if you speak to Cris (Dig Deep), from Sweden, they have to fit snow tyres from November to April by law, so these type of conditions have a minimal affect and of course they are more geared up to ploughing, gritting and salting the roads.

That first picture makes the area look a lot prettier than it normally does ;)

Yes, can work wonders on boring modern estates.:)
