I'm debating whether to do a full day or, go and do some panic buying, the fridge and cupboards are full but, I think I need 40 pints of milk and 18 loaves of bread, just incase! 🙂

When the snow arrives ?
When we have a substantial amount of snow, are you the type to carry on to work regardless ? Do you look out the window see a bit of snow and go back to bed? Do you assess the route you would have to take to get to work before setting off ?
The 1st days of snow seem to be the worst around here with every idiot taking to the roads and I dont just mean motorists...sometimes I dont think its worth it.

Just a small job for me and pretty local but was due to collect payment for a job...not sure its worth the hassle though.
Its the knock on effect that I dont like as I was due to work all this weekend and both jobs are in bad areas for weather.

I'll try & go regardless as long as it ain't too bad. I can't leave a customer with no washing facilities if I'm doing a full bathroom or kitchen fit but if its a job like painting & decorating, hanging doors, changing a CU, it can wait. It far more fun to get the dogs out in the snow mushing!

I'll try to make it to work, one of the reasons I got the L200 was when I got stuck in snow on my way back from Scotland in my old scudo.

Re: When the snow arrives ?
Because I work for a company, I have to try to make it in otherwise there's a chance I wouldn't get paid. There's been one occasion in the last 4 years where I couldn't get to work because all the roads were gridlocked. Sat in traffic for hours not moving anywhere, managed to turn around and head home, and got home about 2pm. What a waste of time. But today, I got to work ok. Took a little longer than normal and I did try and use a road up in the moorlands that's renowned for snow drifts and got myself a little stuck but I managed to get out and find a different way in to work. Only problem with where I work, I have to go up a hill and then down the other side to get to work. Hills, snow, scared drivers = long queues of traffic.
