    We have about 3 inches of snow so, of course, everything has gone to shit. The trains aren't running so I'm not sure how the husband is going to get home from work. Neither will the child be able to get to school. FFS, London...

        You can still ride the bike through the white stuff. In my teen years I was an expert at that.

        Maybe if it is very thick but it's impacted ice. Dave didn't even take his motorbike to work today coz it wouldn't be safe.

        Ah. Freeze on impact. Ok. You're stuck. I call this "netflix/books and tea/hot chocolate day"

        Well, she can walk. It'll just take a long time and involve a lot of falling over.

        No way. She's not a doctor. She can netflix and drink tea. (Though the ice skating on roads thing was actually fun :) )

        I know you can hear me laughing all the way from Denver, Colorado, BUT I also grew up in Los Angeles & understand harsh weather is confusing/surprising to those who aren't used to it. Wait... this makes me a centrist, aka capable of seeing both sides/nuance, doesn't it? LOL

        I remember being in Doncaster in 2010, and I was watching the news where a bloke was talking about how awful it was being trapped by the snow, and they were running out of food in the house. At that moment my grandad (74) walked through the door with bags of shopping.

        He’d walked about a mile and a half to where they’d managed to open the road and had a bus running, caught the bus into town, got the shopping, caught the bus back and walked home again. Either he’s hard as nails or we’re getting soft... or both!

        Three inches of snow and the trains aren't running? When the Commonwealth disintegrates into internecine war Canada's snow making machines will be our secret weapon.

        It's like they don't know about snow isn't it. It comes as such a shock when it arrives. 'But it's white, and cold and THREE inches deep - what can we do!' My neice in Canada gets over three FEET of snow for weeks in a year. Hate to say it but have we become... snowflakes? :)

        I lived in London from 1989-92, and I remember a few inches of snow stopping milk delivery.
