Snowed in

Literally snowed in. It snowed a few inches yesterday and the world has come to a complete standstill. They have no plows or gritters, and we live on some very steep hills..... the roads are like ice-rinks and there are cars abandoned everywhere after people tried and failed to get home from work last night.

Gareth managed. 4 years of living in Canada & actually knowing how to drive in this weather helps. It still took him 4 hours to get here though thanks to everyone else believing that revving up the engine is a good idea when driving on snow and ice.

School is closed today too, and so is Microsoft. Everyone has a day off. Madness.

Ugh...sn*w is a four-letter word. The holidays wouldn't be the same without it, of course, but I wish it would only last a few weeks and go away quickly. Yesterday we had 60's here. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 20's and I hear the snow isn't far behind. Hopefully it will peter out and dump everything on the mountains before it gets here.
