trekka Posted March 2, 2018 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 Well work was shut today down on the South Coast, hardly surprising given that the place is on top of a hill. We had 3 inches of the stuff with mild flurries here and there today. I actually got loads done working at home, starting at 7AM! I've now booked the afternoon off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 As expected the weather has turned further to shit and the entertainment on the hill has begun. No new abandonments (last night's Focus is still there), but we have had one rear end on a parked car, one van going up the hill very slowly sideways, one terrible modded Civic go for the AMG approach of progress by BWARP, and one Smart car struggle to move at all. And it's only 4 and the snow has only got worse in the past hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty pathetic isn’t it? You had it very light last night. It was really bad in Four Oaks last night. You must live in a tropical microclimate!

Since I'm surely going to be unable to drive, and trains from Snow Hill to Stourbridge mostly seem to be cancelled, I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do. Needless to say, not very amused. Left anyway Just in time to avoid the worst on the roads. Now at home, ransacked Lidl for supplies, about to open a bottle of ale and stay indoors for 48 hours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 WFH today and glad I did. No need to risk the roads/trains if you have the ability to work remotely. As it happens my day dragged like hell as most of my clients weren't working. Caught up on paperwork and raided Sainsburys at lunchtime for a selection of snacks, meals and drinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2018 Bus struggling now to get up hill. Going at far less than walking pace. Earlier a bloke was pushing a car up the hill. This gonna be carnage tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Glad I finished at half 3. Roads into Tipton were treacherous which was a shock considering the motorway was clear as a bell. Very heavy now and forecast to continue until 6am tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Drove back from work in Stratford at 3 today and it was easy going, can only see it getting worse though. Some people really don’t make their lives easy do they.. braking all the time in the motorway and nearly losing control. Even in regular weather you don’t need to brake much, just ease off, but in this weather, just stupid. Really fancied a Chinese but three orders cancelled as none will deliver lazy basterds . Managed to get a balti to deliver. If it stays like his I’m not even attempting the Villa tomorrow. Sod that. The holte will be Baltic and take me hours to get there and back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attendance will be ridiculously low if they are stupid enough to go ahead. Cant be risking the fans safety best they call it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Went into town for a few pints and left around 6ish. A 30 minute journey home turned into an hour and a half walk home in the snow. Absolutely **** miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
