Snow Update

Well, the snow keeps coming down. It's pretty and wet. I will admit, the walk to the office on Friday was really slushy, wet - like walking on a big slurpy. People here don't have snow shovels, nor are there any large snow blowers or snow plows to move the snow. So it just builds up and makes a huge mess. Those who venture out in their car drive very slow (which is good) but they also burn rubber a lot, not used to being on slick roads. Many of my co-workers still couldn't make it into work, since they live in outlying villages and the public transport wouldn't run from there. I think they are all enjoying "snow days" from the office. More snow to come too in the next two days. I have learned that the Brits use gritting salt, actual salt minerals from mines that looks pinkish/orange on the roads. And they go "sledging" instead of "sledding"!
