Woo Hoo !! Just got into work and it was very slushy rather than snowy?! Didn't see no gritters out last night, which I thought was bad ... but hey hoo! First time I've driven my car in the snow! Was easy (considering my rear tyres aren't that great!) but as I pulled onto work's drive, the a*se end kicked out..... I was only pulling onto the drive for God sake !!!

All I could think about on the way to work was "damn it, now my car is going to get dirty after I cleaned it at the weekend!!!"

Lots of it in Romford, and even more surprising not one problem for me on the trains.

Maybe Cookie has had a week off.

Loads of snow here, and its pouring down with more

Baz says when he gets in he's taking the scoob for a slide

I've got to drive to work later and I'm not looking forward to the fact as have never driven in snow before and none of our roads have been gritted

Had about 4"-5" in Harlow when I got up at 5.30am, so left car at home, caught a bus to the overland station (which took 50 mins to do a 10 min trip) - got to Liverpool Street, then rather than sit on a cold bus, went to the Circle Line (only to find severe delays) and eventually got to work at 9.30!

Still snowing in Central London, but doesn't appear to be settling at the moment - let's hope the trip back home tonight will be easier...

Went through Latchingdon at about 5.30am and it had just started to come down heavy , by the time I got to the Rettendon roundabout it was getting pretty dangerous , with plenty of accidents just waiting to happen . What's it like out in the sticks at the moment? I'm not looking forward to the trip home
