discussion Snow Day model making :)

[Guest]

We've had about the same as you Adrian. It just annoys me that in the 21st century, we can't seems to be organised enough to deal with a dusting of white fluffy stuff !!

And yes, a big thank you to all the posties and others who don't get a choice as to if they bother to try and get to work or not.

Well, it's icing over nicely, lets see what tomorrow brings.....

Cheers, Neil

I was told by the office to work from home today - on Friday I got into the office (I'm only 15 mins by car) as it was all clear first thing on Friday, but by 11am 4 inches or so had fallen so we all decided to go home - as did almost everyone else in the area i think as the roads were solid - took over an hour to get home. Once I'd put the car in the garage I went back out to the supermarket and was almost run off the pavement by a dickhead in a BMW holding a phone to his ear with one hand and steering one handed while driving in THIS WEATHER!!! If I could have caught up with him I'd have kicked the side of his car in, what a prat!

Well we had another downfall over night.

By 10am the council had been round with the plough/gritter twice (thats even on the side roads) and the little tractor had driven up and down the footpaths and cleared those in the village.

I think it's mainly down the the efficiency of the council "organisers" to what state the roads are maintained. We seem to have a more immediate hands-on approach up here, very different to when i lived in England where the roads would be quite bad throughout the day.

I cleared the car this morning and thought i'd go for a blat round for a bit of fun .... couldn't even get a drift on round the corners as the roads were just like it had rained a bit .... ah well .... Sainsburys in a bit - i'll see if the car parks been cleared

I didn't get any time off due to snow. In at the crack of dawn only to find I had no delivery of parts and the majority of customers didn't come and get their car fixed/serviced due to the weather. So all in all, a very unproductive day. Maybe I should have taken my modelling in? (Not that my boss would appreciate it)
