Put it this way - if that snow arrives around 5am as described on metcheck.com,

then forget the morning rush-hour!

 

Then in the afternoon - The Cheshire Gap Snow Streamer will possibly arrive over Kent bringing more white stuff.

 

Worse case scenario - 6 inches of snow by end of the day, assisted by winds of 20mph (enough to drift it about).

 

Lovely.

we have 18 inches on the ground now and more on the way. Down in the City.......they get 2 inches and everyone runs off the road....and the trains won't run......wheel slippage........where have i heard that before???? <img src="/images/graemlins/alk.gif" alt="" />

I hope it snows because either

A) I can't even get to work or

even if i could,nothing would be moving so I could sit with my feet up and get paid!!!

Bargain!

[FleetFanatic]

That sounds exactly like the railways too.....

[chris blanc]

If it snows a lot I'll go sledging, wooooooooooo!

[chilled out entertainer]

maybe we could build ourselves a snowstriker???

[chris blanc]

Well, it's 2.30am right now, and the snow's really coming down. It's almost silent out there apart from the noise of the snow falling

[Hempstead Gaz]

Looking forward to a nice cold day working outdoors. Sometimes i wish I was a footbasller!!!

[FleetFanatic]

Well the little bit of snow that fell here now looks more like frost on the ground..... here's hoping the other snow turns up later today.

I've picked the right week to be a bloody postman, haven't I?!! <img src="/images/graemlins/wall.gif" alt="" />

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Well ........it's better than walking the streets

Didn't know you could be a postman for just a week.

Can I be a train driver next week?

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Might only have been a little snow, Fleet Fanatic, but caused chaos again, with 4 failed trains I believe between Rochester and Swanley. The other option was to go North Kent Line and that had the fun of the bus service between Strood and Higham.

 

Incidentally, you mentioned "8 hours off" earlier - isnt your job like being off 24 hours a day ?? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You can if you get sacked!!

It's my new job, mate. Just finished my training period (training = "push wrong letter through door and leg it") and have been let loose in Singlewell mis-delivering mail and scaring dogs!

[Ronnie]

Sorry mate didn't realise.

Good luck with the Singlewell dogs !!!!

[John@TheFleet]

Only 15 posts to go before my 1000th!!! I think I'll have a party.........or maybe not....
