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..

I’m glad I live in California, here if it rains too much we get land slides.

Ah....I love this. How exciting this was, a story filled with energy and love for your fellow work buddies. They weather brings us humans together in spirit and concern. After all weather is the main thing we talk about. Lovely story!
