So is this set to turn to rain and thaw later? If so, it makes no sense for any schools to shut if conditions will improve throughout the day. The first band has certainly almost passed here now I think, seems to have split into two.

That said, my hubby is having a pretty crap journey I gather. But if we can get in from a village with NO gritted roads, having another 4cm on top of the existing snow, to schools that usually take a 15 minute journey (last few days taken about 30 mins to over an hour) then I would have thought most could try!

ok for you to say Serendipity - tell you what - you come and try and drive my car (Mazda MX5) if you can get it further than I could then well done to you! Interested to know what kind of car you/hubby do drive - so "most could try" - don't generalise!!! Go on and get stuck and block the roads like morons round our way are doing!
