I should have taken some piccies as we had the 8-12 inches of snow here in High Wycombe overnight. Took ages to dig out one of the cars so my wife could get to work.

Living on a hill (everyone does here!) it was tricky to get the car down to the road at the bottom which is a bus lane and therefore cleared by gritters (I assume). Getting it back up the hill into the drive took several wheelbarrow loads of rock salt that the council conveniently put in a box on the corner to get enough traction.

Thank fliip I had already booked the day off. Sledging for me all day with daughter and her mates. I'm knackered now.

I'm looking forward to some pics from our Canada and Apalachia-based bretheren. Your weather sounds spectacular! Perhaps you could send some of it to Ed as he sounds a tad jealous.
