Listening to the news reports today it would seem that a large part of the country has ground to a halt. If in WW2 Hitler had mastered dropping large quantitys of snow instead of bombs on Blighty the Germans would have wupped our arses by 1940!

Back then people would have just carried on as normal, its the media playing it all out of proportion.

My parents were snowed in for a week at RAF Coltishall during the war. Roads were impassable, but it didn't stop the war effort.!

Snowpack is a uniform 2ft. deep here now.....I`ve cleared the (400 yard long) driveway following each 'fall'......`hand-cleared 6" of fresh snow this morning; now, there`s just been a further 3"+ fallen in the past hour or so: I could`ve cried.

I do feel for you Debs... The project this summer is definitely a Plough for the front of Lazarus

The you could use him on the road in this weather and claim you were clearing the lanes

I don't think you can blame the media for once, though I agree it would be very nice to.  They don't make the decisions to close the schools.  They don't block the A14.  They don't fail to send the gritting crews down my road.  And they don't run out of salt for the roads.

While I admire your heroic efforts, and while I confess total ignorance of your circumstances, I keep wondering why you need to clear that driveway.  It's not like there's a great choice of places to go once you get to the main road.

Presuming you have adequate supplies of food and drink, not to mention a mountain of Pedigree Chum, why don't you just retire to your bed, pull the duvet up, arrange the doggies decorously on top and wait patiently for the thaw? 

As long as the electricity stays on, you've got OOF, radio, TV, the rest of the Internet and if all else fails you could phone someone up for a chat.
