Well we've had some pretty serious snow here this week. I don't think I've ever seen this much in the uk. Here in Bollingtin we've had about 8 inches. It hasn't actually snowed properly since Tuesday morning but it's so cold that conditions are terrible. In fact, it so bad that work are putting us under no pressure to go in, although there are offering an incentive of time and a half if we do go. Totally unheard of, but without that incentive there's no way I'd have gone in yesterday - I had to get up at 6am to dig the car out of the road and see if I thought I could make it safely to a main road. Driving through bollington itself wasn't good but once I got through most of the roads were fine. Driving back through Bollington to come home was awful. Lots of people haven't attempted to move their cars since monday and those that have, have abandoned them in silly places. It's not safe to leave them there when the weather is good so to leave them there in these conditions is asking for trouble! Still, I got sent home at 4pm so only worked 8 hours but got paid for 15. Brilliant :). We'll have to see what the weather's like in the morning, but we're bracing ourselves for temps of -20, which could lead to horrendous driving conditions tomorrow. So, another early morning for me while I assess whether or not to attempt the drive to work
