Well, not too surprising, but we woke up to a good five and a half inches of snow this morning, probably thicker in places. The wheely bins wearing thick white hats, had a job to find the lids to lift them to put rubbish in. Husband trying to work from home, but difficulty connecting to work's network. No call from washing machine man to say he wasn't coming.
I ventured out to our local Sainsbury for papers and tea, the side roads were not to bad, but the packed snow on canal bridge was lethal. It would be a real PR exercise if Sainsbury's would grit it. Last time it snowed I met an old lady who pays for grit out of her own pocket, to put on the bridge.
The washing machine man did not appear , nor did they answer the phone. Dairy explained milk float had broken down, but milk eventually arrived. Didn't see a bus all day. No post either. Daughter got to work 7 miles away, but with difficulty, they had their Christmas lunch today. She was sent home at 4. Lots of kids around as apparently all schools shut. Lots of cars parked in our road as they can't get up side roads. Did the roads get gritted?I saw no evidence.
The sun shone for most of the day, but the snow has not melted. a few flurries today, but hoping it will miss us tonight. have been trying to get room ready for Mum-in-law. Good news, my glasses are mended, will collect tomorrow.
Sorry that should be not too bad!
