HappyMaz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yup - SE London snowed over and thick on the ground. Can't stand it on work days - it just makes life so difficult. Will be hell going to work tomorrow am.Booo cx Well MrsWeasley and I will be there tomorrow by hook or by crook... so that's half our staffing for the day! Early alarm setting for the morning I think... Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi, Snowing quite heavily in west Sussex now. Car and road covered in enough snow to leave car tracks on road. Snow getting heavier and heavier!!! It looks fantastic from inside but very cold outside. Take care wherever you are and hope you are able to enjoy the snow tomorrow rather than it cause problems for you. Nicky Sussex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I wouldn't mind so much but deb only lives about a 5 - 10 minute car journey from me and ours is melting fast!! you can come and play in our snow if you want too!!!!!! we shut if our village school shuts for same reasons as others, we are looking into the whole, should staff come in even if the children don't if they are local and do they get paid regardless, it's not their fault that the weather shuts the setting down, at the moment as this area is a little bit grey, we have dealt with so many things since i took over and my new chair and new admin came on board but this was one that we hadn't given alot of thought to untill now!! i'd be interested to find out what others do.

HappyMaz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 But HappyMaz has got MrsWeasley all excited about the snow, and HappyMaz will be loosing one member of staff tomorrow if there is no snow. Is that a threat or a promise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Praying that the forecast is wrong. Snow flurries here (North Downs - Kent) How is it with you? Sunnyday snowing here in Broadstairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 you can come and play in our snow if you want too!!!!!! we shut if our village school shuts for same reasons as others, we are looking into the whole, should staff come in even if the children don't if they are local and do they get paid regardless, it's not their fault that the weather shuts the setting down, at the moment as this area is a little bit grey, we have dealt with so many things since i took over and my new chair and new admin came on board but this was one that we hadn't given alot of thought to untill now!! i'd be interested to find out what others do. Ooooo, if it wasn't so late I would be round!! We do get paid for the 'snowday'. For the simple reason we do so much outside of work hours it is usually swallowed up in that.

Steve Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Woohoo! Just got the kids out of bed for a post 10pm snowball fight. I just hope it snows a bit more overnight so they get the day off school. Snow happens too rarely for children these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The school my son goes to were not allowed out to play in it the last time we had a semi decent amount, and by the time he got home it had all gone. He was really upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 No snow here in Norn Iron!!! Bitterly cold all day with a biting wind!!! (Michael Fish eat your heart out!!) Has looked like it was gonna snow all day, was sitting in work beside the window, and there were a few times it looked very likely, but it just didnt happen. Had to listen to the customers complaining about the cold instead, but then again it is perfectly natural to complain when you come to put petrol in your car dressed in 3/4 length trousers and a t-shirt!!! I did state the obvious and said that she should have worn a coat, but she said it was warm in her car!! There was a perfectly good reply to that but I was very professional (hard as it was) and bit my tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had our two eldest up and out, I'm on a course tomorrow but hubby doesn't go in till 10 tomorrow night and he's desperate to keep them all at home. So that would be four kids I'll have tomorrow!

Lorna Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well here in Hampshire we have all come to a grinding halt as we have 6cm of snow- roads are awful. Set off for school to get a phone call to turn around and go home... took me half an hour round trip for what would normally be about a five minute journey and not even a third of the way to school. Now feel a bit guilty about being at home... was supposed to be an inset today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 No buses in London, NONE at all!!! ALso no tubes from where I live to where I work and there is no way I am risking driving amongst people who don't normally drive in such condition and then have to pay £40 to park for the day. Looks like another day at home after a weeks holiday!!! Have a core staff team who can walk to work, they are basically going in to call parents and tell them we are closed unless an absolute emergency. Oh yeah, and it's still snowing!!
