Woke up theis morn to 2 to 3'' of the white slippery stuff...
Despite all the winter gear, heated gloves ect I've looked out the window & thought do I really need this ?
Gave it a go none the less.
1st slide before I even got off the driveway, by the third slide within 50' of me front door I decided my health & saftey is more important than going in to work...
Carefully turned round & gently rode it back to the garage with only one more sideways moment...phew !Came back inside after tucking Custard back up in the MacCave, got the gear off put the kettle on changed grundies...
Txt work explaining.
Called work after 8 when office is open.
May have to move one of next weeks days off but we also have tomorrow to deal with as it's forcast to be more of the same.
It's also snowing again here as I type, forcast says it's -5 or something + the windchill...
Cold I can deal with, the snow isn't a huge problem but the ice under the snow is where the problem lies.
Kent County Council seem to think the side roads in small villages dont warrent gritting, fair enough as thy have to deal with the big trunk roads first I suppose...Apparently the M20 is closed tho.
Note to self stay off E-bay as I have no room for any more Storms...
Public transort is the not the answer either as that all comes to a standstill on days like this. Gritting is too slow a process so why can't all the local counciles get snow ploughs. They deal with it in other countries so why can't they deal with it here. Its not rocker science, emplpy folk with snow ploughs to clear the roads at night before folk get up.
