The snow came on Friday, school was shut so we built a snowman and had a snowball fight.
The snow hung around all weekend gradually disappearing here and there and turning the road and pavements into ice rinks! This afternoon as the temperature climbed to a giddy 3 degrees it rained/sleeted/snowed and the thawing surfaces are now so much more treacherous as they have turned back to sheets of ice again. Tony's journey home from work has proved difficult this evening, as it is snowing over the North Downs and several routes south are closed. He has rung to reassure me he is ok, just stuck in traffic nose to tail heading for the M23 in the hope it is still open. Jane x
Added at 7.30pm Tony arrived home safely after a very long journey, normally his journey home takes one and half hours tonight it took four hours! The M25 and many motorways off it are blocked by the snow and at one of the services (Clackett Lane) cars are snowed in! Tony managed to get on to the M23 and home, but drivers heading toward London, Kent etc are all stuck in traffic/snow.

Your weather is so very much like Pacific Northwest in the US. The ice is what makes it all so dangerous to drive, in both places.
I'm relieved he made it home safely!
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful winter pictures Jane. Just wanted to wish you a most wonderful Christmas and the very best to you and your family. I will catch up on the other side. Hugs.
I wish we had snow! Merry Christmas!
I hope you have a merry Christmas!
Hiya Jane, We have had bad weather too. Me and Mr K took 3 and a half hours to get home the other night, the journey normally takes 1 hour. It was pretty scary! We were in the middle of a (constantly) busy City Centre at 6pm on the last Saturday before Xmas and there wasnt one gritter out. Anyway.... Have a lovely Christmas! Lots of Love TVK X
