After getting up at 5am we drove in to Heathrow, a bit icy despite the clear roads, M4 outbound was closed j1-4due to a serious accident.

Made it to heathrow, to the pandemonium caused by BAA.  I say caused by them because last night they threw everybody out!  Elderly, very young, infirm they didnt care they chucked everyone out on the street in -10 temps and cold winds.  Dispicable  >:(

This morning everyone was trying to get back in, fights broke out and some were still prevented form getting back inside >:(

we were not sucessful getting a flight so we're coming back home  ;)

Sorry to hear you're stuck here, Guffer! Any chance of getting a replacement flight out of Gatwick? I hear that's operating at ~50% capacity at the moment..

And now it's stopped again, barely a flurry here. Thankfully. This weather can poke off please, and soon!

A bit worrying as I am supposed to be spending the festivities with the other half down in Hampshire and right now the prospect of that happening is looking very slim.  She is not best pleased with me at the moment.   :'(

The first small flakes are now starting to fall in Ashford, so it looks as though the forecasters have it right here!  They are talking of 10-15cm tonight ::) ::) ::)

Are you still waiting for snow..... ::) ::) If I were you I would hope that it missed you... ;)

Been into Stockton, 12 mile south of here, and it looks like they must have had quite a flurry overnight and I believe Hartlepool have had some, but no more here so far, thank goodness, but extremely cold... :)

Have to take swmbo out to her works do and pick her up later tonight so hope we don't get any tonight.. :D :D

I'm off to Basingstoke tomorrow so hoping for a clear run. Just out of interest the company i'm loading from is in Armstrong road which is just off "Swing Swang lane"!
   The local council must've had a reason for naming it so, can any locals enlighten?   No google cheats, i could do that!

I've spent most of the day pushing cars belonging to those people who did attempt to go to work ;D

Wasn't too bad this morning - made it in to town. Came back, then sent her to Banbury to do some shopping. She abandonned the attempt about 1 mile out of town.  So I sent her out again at midday, again she was back in 40mins, after having got caught up in the blizzard we hard. Car's now on drive, surrounded by ice and snow. None of the cars are making it up the gentle incline up our road where everybody has wheelspun, and turned the snow to ice.

Just need to unfreeze the bloody pipes again, then its bathtime for me - I'm knackered, and covered in shite!
