It's absolutely hooning down here. Half an inch in the last 30 minutes, easy. People who were joking about closing the office then are now seriously asking about it. How's your weather?

I am indeed at work, I was at work last week too - I ran out of holiday to book off Christmas (boo). So far there is no snow, according to the weather gnomes the snow will hit from about 2.00pm and probably won't stop until Saturday - Good times are clearly ahead! :S

I'm sure you'll make it. If the snow gets that bad I'm sure you could ski or snowboard your way over!

About 25° too cold for my liking, but it's clear and sunny.

No snow overnight, so I managed to get to work without having to dig my car out again. I'm getting right fed up with it. My car's not that good in snow, and I have spent far too much time with a shovel recently.
