My Mum works at a school in Maidstone that has closed till Monday.
A colleague has one son in and one off today so I think it’s hit and miss.0 -

Jury service finished yesterday and I'm working 12-8 today. Not too bothered about getting in. Worried about getting back though.0

How’s @eaststandmike getting on? I’m worried for his safety0

My school closed at 8am, halfway through my hour long journey to work.
Oh well, a paid netflix day isn't so bad.1 -
Forecast now says no snow for the rest of the day. One extreme to the other. Guess I’ll just have to use my eyes to gage it.The Organiser said:Heavy snow for the last hour here in Snodland. Forecast for Maidstone saying heavy all day now so will be watching carefully.

School is now shut today and will be tomorrow too. First time it's been shut in over 25 years due to weather. Must be really bad in Thanet but here in Fav, pavements and back roads are just thick ice.bellz2002 said:Headteacher just called as I was leaving home to tell me not to travel in due to the conditions.

no proper snow here in North Dorset but hope to be building a snowman this afternoon0

I'm going to concentrate on the priorities. Netflix or The Office (US) binge watching. Maybe a bit of Fifa thrown in!Eynsfordaddick said:

There seems to be quite a few teachers on here and @lancashire lad have you 'done a @Leeds_Addick ' or are you meant to be on holiday?1

Ha ha I keep looking at that and thinking mmm, that’s really not a bad dad dance move, you know.3blokes said:
but then if you look closely he looks a bit like Alan Partridge, and he IS falling over, so it’s sort of great
I think I will always remember THAT pic of him standing in front of the stand at The Valley, looking as cheerful as cold tea, and I think I shall add this one to that collection - The Fall Of The Roland Bum Flyer.
It’s almost ballet.2 -
We always moan about trains in the uk and how we can’t cope in general with bad weather.
Well, Italian trains are just as hopeless. No announcements, staff or idea what’s going on apart from cancellations galore.0 -
I came in from Sevenoaks to East Croydon today, again like Tuesday road i live on and one off it (Brittains Lane) was quite bad but once onto the main road was fine all the way in. Hows it looking? again i will no doubt have the option whether to stay in a hotel or go home, yesterday i went home as had pool night but was fine other then the roads by me.Glovepup said:I've been told Maidstone schools have re-opened?

I live not far from St Michael School, the roads are untreated and my car won't go anywhere as it's rear wheel drive. Was snowing here but stopped about an hour ago, possible snow this afternoon. Still very grey out there.johnnybev1987 said:

Addickted,
You’re in Maidstone I believe. From what I’m seeing it looks like no more snow is forecast today and just light tomorrow afternoon.
Have you heard/seen anything to the contrary?0 -

Ahh that's not nice, whilst being nice at the same time if true.
RIP hero.
The departures lounge at Colombo is much nicer than Arrivals, although a strange airport in that you browse and buy fridges and washing machines there.eaststandmike said:

From what my seaweed is telling me, some showers of snow today and then the real shit happens tomorrow.1

Felt for my youngest this morning. Set off at midnight from Reading to get to Stansted for his 6am flight to Naples. Had to wait an hour outside Paddington for the coach, with his girlfriend. Eventually made it in good time and only a slight flight delay.
He's now enjoying the snow and rain in Naples.5 -
The Fire Brigade rescuing a dog in Barnet. With all the other problems they have to deal with, it's shame that owners can't keep their dogs under control near frozen ponds and streams.

Yesterday my boss suggested that if the roads are so bad that we can't drive to work, then we should use a taxi instead.
Genius!19 -
You’d think people would think to keep them on a bloody lead when they know their is frozen water.
Selfish pricks.13 -

I couldn't really comment on Sevenoaks really other then this morning 10 to 7 where it looked a bit unsafe on roads by me but were ok once i got onto the main road. Hopefully tomorrows storms dont affect my travel in or home.0
