Its true Dave, i was surprised when i heard about it. Mid-Afternoon today
the LEA decided to close all dudley schools, apparently on advice from the
UK Met Office and their Emergency Planning Committee. I was also surprised
we had an Emergency Planning Committee myself lol. Another "apprently" is
that the West Mids looks set to have the worst conditions in the UK. Which
i'm sure we'll find out soon. Down to -0.6C at the mo, rising from -1.5 at
around 8pm tonight. Still clear, no snow as yet.

I see that Dudley has closed their schools already.

WTF is the country coming to? Surely that decision is best taken in the
morning when they know how much snow has fallen, if it doesn't just rain
that is...

The schools up here get closed but not mid afternoon the day before
*forecasted* snow. We get a phone call in the morning, normally about
0800, but already have pretty good idea if the school will be shut due to
having to, literally, dig the Land Rover out...
