[QUOTE 5054414, member: 9609"]are you sure ? I have heard of the underground being closed for snow before (seriously) whats all that about

On the Underground, the Circle line is fully suspended, while Hammersmith & City trains are not continuing[/QUOTE]
Aye, on the overground bits, when there's the "wrong kind of snow" (i.e.wet and slippy)

They've just gritted Madingley Hill with a quad bike gritter.
Impressive!

[QUOTE 5054318, member: 9609"]I passed a gritter ths afternoon, it has been cold though, +2 when I set off at 11:30, -1 when I got back at four. very cold day, have finally got the blood circulating in my toes again.

roads are going to be dangerous tonight, all the heavy rain has had water running over certain sections of road, the constant water washes the salt leaving these little traps to catch out the unaware - one nearly got me earlier, before I knew it I was committed, keep straight and pray for the best, it was one of those "this is going to hurt moments" but I got lucky

Damn my hide if I spoke too soon, it's tatters darn sarf tonight. They'd even gritted the exit to Waitrose!

It'll have hat and coat on tomorrow, before it thinks about coming out.

You mean they didn't carry you out in a sedan chair?

Only when the store butler is unavailable.

My pal works for the local council. He says it costs 40k per day to grit the roads and that it’s a waste of money. Waste of money? Waste. Of. Money.?
