    some, and it has snowed on and off all day. I think it is the ice that is more likely to cause a problem, if indeed there is a problem.

    I have to ring up at 8.30 in the morning to see if the school is going to open, and am due to start teaching at 10, so I shall just have to wait and see!

    The thaw then freeze cycle will give you ice. Cleared about 5 inches of global warming off my car tonight, then struggled to get out of the carpark as the defrosting snow had refrozen.

    There's already been complaints about the council, though I did see a gritter lorry, which is one more than I saw last winter...

    I'd hate it, not to know till then! Still, your day today sounds brill, so much done, so much out of the way. Good for you.

    The snow is quite steady now and has laid on the ground, so I have no great expectations for tomorrow. As I say, no great disappointment if it is called off - I can easily fill the time with other productive stuff!

    Wow. I was thinking I'd have loads of snow in moving here, I'm not protected by being so near the coast any more, but nothing so far. Early days yet, of course.

    And I just *bet* you can find stuff to fill your time!

    If I was that productive more often, I would be incredibly pleased.....sadly it only happens rarely, and the effects aren't terribly long lasting!

    Am now waiting for the boys to decide what time they want to go to their party.....I volunteered to taxi on the way there on the basis that one of the other parents would do the return journey later.....so at least I don't have to wait up.
