A little snow had began to fall....
 
Light dusting of snow and the whole of the south east has ground to a
complete halt!

Granddaughters school closed, M2 impassable, busses & trains out.

This sort of weather should be confined to areas north of Wotfud if you ask
me.

Only in the Sarf could this happen. The map is right where it says,

Hardly surprised that some schools are closed...e.g. Fort Pitt is at the
top of a cliff!

Further east, all pretty normal. Boys got on a slightly delayed train to
Ramsgate, no trouble.

Not in "extremely slippery conditions". In loose snow, yes, so the snow
can pack and wedge in front of the locked wheels. On packed snow or ice,
you want it. It won't defy the laws of physics, though, so you still
won't actually stop. But you might have a slightly better chance.

Wycombe area here!

One of the quietest days I have ever known here. A mere handful of
vehicles on a road that frequently has lots. Think schools are closed -
children seen going off tobogganing. The problem roads are likely to be
the hills.

Clearing a bit of snow was an enjoyable few minutes. Fresh fall is so
easy compared to trodden, half-melted, compacted stuff.

Even started to melt a bit. And no fall at the moment.

Big realisation - there is no useful information on local roads. BBC
Local Traffic page - only weather related problem for Bucks is the M25
and M4. Local paper site is not working. (Crap even if it were working.)
Traffic England only cares about motorways and a few major roads (and is
barely working). Our immediately local roads look quite passable with
care. But if the other roads are impassable I'd like to know before I
get there.

Not a light dusting here in Balham (South London for those who've never
heard of Peter Sellers) - it's near enough a foot thick on the common.
Last time it was this heavy was in the late '80s. The dog loves it,
though. I should have been working but they've postponed the shoot. Still
get paid, though. Yummy.

That was fun.

VW said I need a new vent pipe on the diesel preheater 'cos it's spewing
smoke everywhere - come back Friday. Car computers have apparently been
whining about everything - odd because nothing they whined about is
actually broken. Computers reset.

Nipped into Travis Perkins for some SBR (running some experiments on various
pots of sand to test its ability to stabilise crap).

Got stuck on the slope (jessie tyres in a jessie 4x2).

Found a shovel and the grit, nicked a bucket ("sorry mate - don't have a
bucket to hand, we're only a builders' merchant". - FFS I'll help meself).
Dug car out. Hmm - that's my morning excercise.

Returned borrowed shovel and nicked bucket. Went home, photographed snowman
that has appeared in garden. Nicked kids' playsand and old playdoh tubs and
set up some damp sand+SBR experiments. We'll see later what happens
there...

Southeastern Trains managed to get it up (web server). It say:

"Please note due to poor weather conditions, we are currently not running
any train services into or out of London."

We need the contingency of movable public holidays for such weather
conditions. If everyone was paid to stay at home in bad weather, it
wouldn't be a bad thing. Save the expense suffered at present.

Unfortunately, the fewer who use the roads, the less the vehicles clear
them. So the day after will be even worse. But I do like the basic idea.

Yep - indeedy. That had M25 & M4 as the only ones when I looked this
morning. Shortly after neighbour returned home a few minutes after
leaving because of problems. (It had the usual road works, etc. just no
weather problems.)

TeeVee always likes to give the impression that good Samaritans are

30 years ago a relative and family were isolated by snow for a week in
Wales. No roads, power or heating. Only chink of assistance was a firm
offering a food parcel drop but they wanted £190.
Unaffordable, so they starved for a couple of days.

I was following six cars along a road, they got to about 50m from an island
and suddenly they went every where.
Two hit the gutter on the right hand side three went into the left hand
gutter and one hit the island.
None actually hit any other AFAICS.
Good job I had left four times the normal distance between me and them.

I live in Essex and braved the elements this evening. Didn't even go to
the nearest pub, went to the next nearest one.
Perhaps it is because my Mum and most of my relatives are Scots I
managed to cope with the 175 yards.
I lived in east London in 1963. That was a proper winter. The only
vehicle to move in our street for 2 days was a milk float with chains.

Well I've got a cache of Aloe Vera wipes in stock here far oop norf. I

Light dusting of snow and the whole of the south east has ground to a
complete halt!


Not a light dusting here in Balham (South London for those who've never
heard of Peter Sellers) - it's near enough a foot thick on the common.
Last time it was this heavy was in the late '80s. The dog loves it,
though. I should have been working but they've postponed the shoot. Still
get paid, though. Yummy.


Don't you mean Tony Hancock (Balham, gateway to the South)?
