Fair play to anyone that can walk more than a 100 yards on the paths this morning.

We're still waiting for Tuesday's bin collection which according to the council took place on Wednesday and then again on Thursday:
"Our bin crews are out and collecting scheduled Thursday collections as well as catching up on missed collections from yesterday and Tuesday"
Let's see if they can make it a hat-trick of bare-faced lies?

Our Thursday collection happened yesterday, which made up for them still not collecting the green bin (which is now full) last Thursday when there was no reason to not collect!

They've yet to empty the communal bins in Spon End which are a different day to wheelie bins.

Managed to fall over yesterday, wrist was kind of... agony until it seemed to pop itself back in(!) and is now merely sore. Road today is sheet ice! Supposed to be wfh anyway, but think this will be a day when I'll postpone that until next week!

Blue coat shut can’t believe other schools were safe

Depends if they had people out gritting. Went past a few schools today on the way to work and all seemed open.

I'd love it if Herpes could deliver my parcel, rather than claiming they can't get here because of the snow and ice...

Apparently there was virtually no gritting done as the met office sent out a forecast saying it wouldn't be needed.

Noticed that this morning that so many roads and bus routes weren't gritted.
Some schools has grit outside on the pavements though.

But then I am sure Blue Coats was back a day earlier than my daughter's school earlier in the week.

Actually, just a word of warning to be careful out there.
It's not the snow so much, but more the underlying water. Encountered a number of stretches of very large puddles this morning. Radford Road, Foleshill Road, Cash's Lane. Some were at least 3 inches deep.
Guessing some drains are blocked. This was at 4.40am though. Might be cleared now.

Oh how the teachers must be pissed we will probably be sent a letter home saying due to the snow they lost a days holiday so we will have to make it up for them

Me and my son walked into the pub last night after getting caught in the rain and sleet walking just a hundred yards,and it was lashing it down. Someone at the bar looked us up and down and said "Is it raining ? "
We were soaked !

Drove back from the Cotswolds last night and the roads were horrendous. I don't say that lightly.
Meant to be at work today but they closed the office again, it's not even that bad to be honest.

First day back on the round today. Bit icy but with the sun out it was fine. Up and down ladders gets you warmed up anyway. Plus a few cups of tea and biscuits helps !

I worked in an office for 20 years and once had to go out for a pint of milk. Does that count?
