And still it is snowing!

10.20pm  20th January 2013.

It is 10.20pm and has not stopped snowing all day. The trees and shrubs are weighted down.
Already many schools are closed tomorrow.
Timelord is going to London on the train, in the morning, hopefully(!) and is making preparations for the walk to our local station, (which is 5 minutes on a  normal day).
He looks as if he is going to the North Pole once he has all his gear in place. Hiking boots, all weather jacket, which he has used for our treks in the countryside or Lake District, when we've been on holiday, and climbed some of the lower to medium fells.Scarf, hat, gloves and thick socks!
         A quick change may be needed on train.........arriving in London on business in hiking boots would seem a little strange! ;-) But there again, who knows!
At least he has the privilege of travelling first class. (As long as he is at work).
    So, we'll see what the morning brings.
No mail has been delivered since Friday, and the man who is scheduled to repair the washing machine is due at some point during the day. But I think that will be a lost cause! Our road is like a skating rink, and now the snow has fallen on top of the ice.
      The Council do not grit this road, even with a school opposite.
With the amount of extra traffic during the day, and after school, it will be interesting to see what transpires if the school is not closed!
      Just walking along the pavements is treacherous.
So watch this space, as the saying goes.
Now where's my book...........nothing like a good read at bedtime.
