TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Oh and the very worst element of this recent awful weather is that both Mrs TC and the second son are both at home as the schools are closed again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 I shall of course be taking that up with the school just as soon as they feel it is safe to open it again. Strange how people manage to get to work, but the Schools seem to close as soon as snow is visible on the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 my daughters school had them all outside building snow men yesterday, not snow persons? How long till snow men are banned. 48 minutes ago, Dougy said: Any snow. Round Carlisle Langholm folk ? A9 Scully saying its bad round Penrith and scotch corner, stay at home.

Dekers Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Look, I'm all for a bit of care and consideration but what is wrong with the country? There are a few inches of snow here and there, it is the lead story on the news and the country seems to be in lockdown; what is wrong with people, whatever happened to personal responsibility/accountability? ***, it's like we have never seen it before, shops have run out of food, schools are shut, the railways have given up and we are told not to travel unless its essential. Get over it, get used to it, deal with it! Edited February 28, 2018 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 We must be the laughing stock of countries that see a bit of snow. They seem to plough it out of the way and carry on exactly as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) A friend in Idaho said last night they had about 24 inches to add to the 30 odd they already had and he is just running his plough fixed to his truck to keep the driveway and local roads clear. The media need something to feed on. The five people killed in the last day or two are on average about normal and looking at a couple of the accidents, the weather had nothing to to with it. I'm off to Lincolnshire tomorrow come what may, but there again I have a Landie. The A1 at Stamford was in chaos but there was only an inch or two. Local authorities had afiled to salt the roads again. Just saw the penguin bit on MSN news Edited February 28, 2018 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're travelling from Staffordshire I believe the M6 is open, even over Shap summit, so you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Funny how we can all travel miles and work outside all day for this, but the trains and buses can't deliver folk to their nice warm offices and shops, or they consider the car drive to much of a H&S risk!?
