Hope you get back safely Fly.
@ Slacker I bought a pair of fur lined wellie type boots years ago from bakewell, brilliant for this weather - dare I say it - they have never let me down - yet!

Yep made it back OK  :)
Main road through Boza was pretty clear, so when we got back, we cleared the snow from my taxi and went through to Tesco in Clowne. Did our shopping, and some for our elderly Aunt.
We dropped her shopping off on our way home.  ;)

All the best.  Best of luck trying to get some milk and bread

No milk in Farmfoods. Bread almost gone, people buying 3 and 4 loafs each. Bloody stupid  :-?
We didn't actually need or want bread, so didn't buy any  ;)
Got some milk from Fultons.

I don't care what people are saying about panic-buying, I got 'er indoors to get me a few cases of Fosters just in case...

Mmmm... Amber nectar. :)

Just got back from Drax power station no snow anywhere on the roads except our street because it never gets gritted.

Went for the usual friday shop yesterday normally is packed but it wa really quiet in there! All the panic buyers must of got there the day before. Lasses sat on tills with no customers (4 in a row) So they must have got the staff in to cope and then no bugger turns up.
Laura's school decided on a half day so they finished at 1pm on friday. If we are in for more heavy snow i imagine they will close the school again so got to keep the phone on...
Today we went for a play in the white stuff we threw snowballs at each other and she loved it... for kids its great fun

I signed up for the Derbyshire alerts Friday morning when I returned home later in the day I had an inbox full of them  :-? some were school closures but repeated themselves - reckon they must be paying a little person  ;) (have to be politically correct ) to keep pressing the send button!

Traffic Camera in Kent around 3pm today.  Hardly anything on the roads and they STILL drive in the middle.

Yes, when I worked at AGD our headquarters were in London - very often in winter we'd get a call from them saying they were all going home as it was 1/2 inch deep!

We seem to have got off lightly round here.  My elder daughter lives in Great Malvern in Worcestershire and she's been snowed in for a few days   :(

Did people panic buy on Friday?  I went to Morrisons yesterday morning and there was hardly anyone about.
