But remember to please keep your toys in the pram if
you don't get the snow you think you deserve
Not all of us will make it, but good luck everybody,
we're going in.....

I can only go on what I've seen so I can't say if it's 100% true....

I couldn't get to school for almost a week in 1963 because the bus couldn't
get up the hill through the four foot snow drifts. Naturally the school was
open despite the outside toilets being a bit frozen. Managed the next three
months though the 12" pack ice on the pavements was tricky at times.

P.S - Wouldn't it be a wonderful opportunity to put all those funny 4WD jeep
things on the school run to good use.

My school years were 1948 to 1960 in suburban Surrey. Neither
the primary or grammar school I attended were *ever* closed because of
the weather. The country is going truly soppy. It would be
interesting to know what happens in other European countries. In
Jakutsk, Russia, schools are closed if the temperature drops below
-51°C.
As far as the present setup is concerned, the temperature here
is now above freezing with a moderate SE'ly so with luck we'll get
away without much snow. This stuff lost its attraction for me at
roughly the same age as I gave up collecting engine numbers, i.e.
about 13.

3 years ago snow was forecast for this area. We had a little but nothing
like what had been forecast. No problems on the roads - everything normal.
Everything, that is, except for the council's refuse collections - they
closed down for the day. I (and many others) complained and was told the
weather had been too dangerous for the collections to be made. I disagreed
but they insisted the weather had been too extreme :-(

Lazy sods had arranged the day off (paid) the day before and stuck to it in
spite of no bad weather.
