Well, we now have our paper thin coating on minor roads and paths in Southampton. With a bit of luck that'll freeze, and then we can be ready for some proper snow. If it ever happens, which I doubt, as it has stopped again.

 

No doubt the rest of the country is knee deep in the stuff. :(

Must be the city enviorment, because it's settled well in Locks Heath, and only going to get worse I would guess.

Hop on your bike, zoom up the A34 and you can play in my garden ;)

 

 

An offer i have dreamed of receiving on more occasions than i care to remember mrs b, seriously. Do you like it when it's deep?

 

Anyway, i have signed on to say that i am sat at work, having foolishly voluteered to wait for the last driver to get back thus allowing my Andover-dwelling manager time to get home safely. That was an hour and abloody half ago!! No sign of him yet and i am starting to get worried.....that my dinner will be in the dog.

 

We have also received a message from the powers that be that we are officially CLOSED tomorrow. I will of course be working extremely hard from home as I have sent a file home to play with, the content =s of which I shall be discussing on the Techno forum in the morning as I need expert MS Excel advice. Assumiong of course that i actually get home at all.

 

I have a kettle at my disposal, but coffee is locked at the other end of the building and the tuck-shop keys are in the bloody safe. I could starve here!!!

Lock's Heath..? Blimey, you're the other side of the River Hamble and halfway to Fareham. I've never called that Southampton.

Behave ???

You always start these things mrs b, always., then you berate me for biting. You are without a doubt the biggest teae that i have ever come across, and I have come across quite a few in my time. One day you are going to get it, you really are.

 

Anyway, where is my ****ing driver? I am thirsty and hungry. mrs h suggested that i order a take-awy! yeah right mrs h, and how is the lad gonna get his moped up the hill, how is he gonna do that mrs h?

 

I have actually borrowed (stolen) the last remaining yoghurt coated biscuit bar from the clients fridge 5 minutes ago (don't tell) and it tasted like cardboard, so much for healthy food.

I abandoned my car just off the M27 at Bursledon, rescued little-un from nursery on foot, then rescued the missues who had abandoned her car in Hedge End - now thankfully sipping a shandy and eating a chilli, phew!

After spending 10 hours getting home when it snowed around Basingstoke before Xmas I count myself lucky to be able to spend the 2 hours I did getting the family home.

In Basingstoke its welcome back to the winter wonderland!! already 2.5 - 3 inches on the fence posts, the A33 runs past the bottom of the garden and its a soft swoosh snow covered sound of the rare tyres passing over it rather than the wet slushy sound. So that will be impassable by the morning.

Hooray..! It is at last snowing nicely in Southampton, and looks like it is laying well. Hopefully, it'll stick around and actually be more than the usual excuse for snow that we normally get. When I can't tell the roads and paths from anything else, then I'll really love it.

Snow is not for driving in. Only very capable/professional drivers and very short journey drivers need apply.

 

For the rest, it's a big snowball fight. :D

I abandoned my car just off the M27 at Bursledon

You're not the only one. It's littered with abandoned cars round here and still snowing. I went out for a walk and one driver I let use my mobile said they'd been in traffic on Hamble Lane for an hour and a half without getting as far as Tesco.

 

And snow on my satellite dish ruined some recordings before I noticed. Doh.

A lot of people have done that, I also saw a bus sliding down sideways (not on it's side) where 'The Target' used to be.

Thankfully COD has saved me. Just measured outside in the back garden - 5 inches.

I came along Hamble Lane at 17:15 and it was very slow but moving. It all seemed to be because of very slow traffic going down the A27 towards Bursledon. I've just had a look at the TrafficEngland website at the M27 and it seems to get very slow from junction 8 eastwards.
