Snow hits hard in UK..panic attacks!

My personal observation..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some people managed to dig their way out of their homes this morning, to drive the slippery slopes to work today.

On arrival at work, surrounded by their brave colleagues, donned with scarves and gloves, they cradled their coffee cups, and discussed the treacherous drive into their workplace.

By the time they had discussed their ordeals, time for lunch, and another time to gather and discuss what time they ought to leave, to head home.

After much deliberation, the conclusive outcome was to leave about 3 p.m. today to avoid the rush hour. Having spent 2 hours driving to work already. 3 p.m. came, and they headed to their snow encased cars, reminding each other to take care driving home, and the women shouting to text each other when they got home.

After scraping off the ice, and snow, they fired up their cars, and started the long and frightening journey home.

Hands on their car horns to warn fellow drivers and an odd foolish person out with their frozen and stiff dogs.

The majority of people arrived home safely, their cars covered in grit and freshly covered snow.

The others called into friends to spread the news about their arduous day at work.

Forecast for more snow over the weekend. Monday won't be long coming, and then they can all enjoy the ordeal again.

That's our British weather for you.. never happy..

This seems almost like a newspaper article or something. It's cute and well written, if a little bit random

What Grit lol, a few flakes of the white stuff and britton comes to a standstill yet again, not that any council curruption is to blame, heaven forbid

I know the feeling. We got hit hard here too in the US. It seems like when snow happens, people lose their senses. XD
Great job!

the little tiny cars can't possibly do so well in that weather :)
this felt like a weather report with some sarcasm and humor.

A very funny ending to a seemingly tragic morning. Your writing style, however, could use much development. In this story you don't describe a setting or a story, you state it without further elaboration, it would do you good to advance on your descriptive skills. The grammar could also use some spicing up because, although you lack description, several of your sentences are run-on sentences. Either that or they start without much transition from the previous paragraph or sentence, again it relates back to the lack of detail. Yes your facts are certainly present, but it's details about these facts that aren't sufficient. But, overall, good plot and great ironic humor. Well said.

nooo!!! We love the snow!! Our little country is ill equipped to deal with extremes in weather..unfortunately we do not have snow like this every year, so we don't have the need for the provisions that countries that have guaranteed snowfalls have! It a national obsession the weather but I think we bond in these snow periods! Maybe if the infrastructure was better ie schools, public transport..we would cope better..however we still manage to get out and build a couple of snowmen!!!
