SNOW IS FOR SLEDGING, NOT WORKING OR DRIVING
Loving the snow
Have to work from home - my bus never showed this morning...he...heee...

So excited - can't wait to get home and have a snowball fight with the kids - luckily I finish at 3 today!
P.S. As you can guess I love snow!

Both schools have advised that afternoon tutor has been cancelled to allow students and teachers extra to get home so they will finish at 2.30 today. Have persuaded boss that this means I have to leave half hour early as well.
Snowball fight here I come and I am so gonna whip the kids in this one! My aim is so much better. So if you see a strange looking 40ish woman and two teenagers running amok in Surrey you had better duck down or face the consequences!

Wonderful destresserai. I remembered the last time it snowed late at night in Central London and settled, and in all experience it never lasts until the morning, so that I and my two boys were out there having snowball fights around midnight! However, to our surprise the next morning, the snow had lasted and there were 5 inches of snow! All the schools were given the day off and my sons went sledging down Primrose Hill, and work called to say I did not need to go in!

Had the best snow ball fight with the kids and a few of their friends. Fingers and feet are cold, nose is blue and chilled to the bone but didn't realise any of that until we came home. Now snuggled under the snug-rug with hot chocolate and marshmallows.
Hubby is not having so much fun. He was stranded and has had to abandon the car. He now undertaking a long walk home. Even worse, he has given his scarf and gloves to a young mum who was stranded with a toddler who didn't have any so he is getting colder by the minute!
