We might get snow tonight, although in this coastal area it isn't usually too much of a problem, although the limited number of roads that are gritted does make getting around a problem.
Schools are largely staffed by teachers travelling quite a distance around here, so although the children can get there, sometimes staff can't.

I have supplies in ready for meals for us and the birds and fur-lined Wellies by the door in readiness...

Snow here when I woke, but has largely melted away now, going out to stock up on bird seed though as it is going very fast this moening.

year before last attended two funerals in the snow - first one, my lovely next door neighour - her husband had the coffin the house all week and the snow was like a blizzard - we wondered if the hearse would reach the house - it did and I thought I'd follow it up to the next village for the church service - however, that proved futile so I made it on my own - we then had to go to the crematorium which is on the side of the mountain overlooking Cardiff - the road was actually closed but we got through and then the refreshments after were nearly at the top of the mountain!! road closed and staff from the hotel ferrying people in 4X4s - fortunately my little Micra made the journey to the top - so glad I made it cos so many couldn't manage it

Yes it's fine if you don't have to travel :-(.

Am going to a funeral in Gloucester on Wednesday and several of us have to make the journey from different areas. It's just another worry for Mum.
