    What’s it like in Longfield ? I managed to get in to work from home but I would like to make it back home...

    Woke up to 6 inches of snow and walked to work, didn't think driving on small country town roads was advisable. Got called out to an old person collapsed at home, then spent over two hours driving 4 miles back to the station as we had to keep getting the cars belonging to idiots out of the snow drift they were stuck in. How is going to get a morning paper so important?

    Snow never settles during the day in this part of the world. Ground temperature is too high after about 7 o clock in the morning.

    Woke up to a covering of snow. First sight of snow for the youngest child. Sun came out mid morning and most of the snow has melted. It's Sunny up north but grim down south!

    nice & sunny in Borough green now & sun is even starting to melt the snow off the car. Roads all look clear now too but Investment lunch in Maidstone was cancelled & so was the speed dating event I was going to go to tonight in West Malling. :neutral:

    More snow due on Thursday & Friday but nothing tomorrow - which happens to be my birthday...........

    Snow stopped in Bromley & we now have bright sunshine. Snow melting & roads ok.

    Left work early to make sure I could get home.
    Bermondsey to Medway 40 minutes. A2 is lovely, empty of both snow and cars.
    However, the final 8-10 minutes home took nearly 50! Local roads are a nightmare.

    It's finally stopped snowing but a good 8/9 inches on the ground.

    It’s bright and sunny now. Pavements pretty clear.

    I've seen a lot of comments here about over panicking.

    On Monday we had an e-mail sent out from head office about the impending bad weather with the sentence "road and driving conditions will be extremely treacherous and there will be SERIOUS ROAD CRASHES".
    Some prediction!

    1975. I think it was New Year's day. A snow covered Valley. Charlton 4 Colchester 1. One of my favourite ever games. Though of it today watching the snow fall on Greenwich from the other side of the Thames.

    Feel like tomorrow is going to be much worse than today, already packed snow on the floor with freezing temperatures and some more snow overnight/in the morning.

    All trains were cancelled back to Maidstone on the West line. So drive home (a lift) on the M20 at 5pm and was clearer than Xmas day - deserted.

    Belting down again In Maidstone this evening so think I’ll opt for home working rather than the train tomorrow.

    Finally settling in Charlton now.

    Pop in the Bugle Stu and see if my hat and scarf are in there !!
    Did you seriously lose them Saturday? you was wearing them When you left i thought.
    @Charlton_Stu yeah they never made it home mate. Just grateful that i did to be honest as I don’t remember leaving the pub!

    Dipped the tape measure in the snow on my drive and got an impressive 8.5 inches.

    Not worth risking the no claims driving round the Medway towns you ask me, main roads around me were all covered as was I on my stroll to the off licence for alcohol. It is incredibly quiet apart from the occasional skidmark burning their clutch out sidewinding up my road
