Some Snow, A Lot of Snow

There was a relatively heavy snowfall this afternoon.  It continued for a number of hours, causing the school to shutdown halfway through operations.

Of course, as we were already there, we gained no respite; nose to the grindstone and all that.

For an idea of how much snow fell, check out this not very informative and extremely sensationalist report from the BBC.  Ignore the text, look at the picture.  We've had about two-thirds of that.

If we can't go into school tomorrow, then we would have to make up for it by working on Friday (originally planned as a half day) so I'm hoping that it will stop.

On the other hand, if it carries on this way, we might get all week off which would be cool.  Literally.

Having just ventured out (at eight O'clock) I can say with 95% certainty that there will be no school tomorrow.  It's not snowing, but I've just done a swiss cheese job on my hands from falling over on the ice.  The middle of the road is like a third-rate ice-skating rink, and the less well trodden paths are glacial standard ice.  If school does go ahead tomorrow, there will be more car crashes than I dare imagine.
