Be Careful What You Wish For!

shazrashaOk so the age old warning about wishes is particularly apt for me today as the snow I wished for has actually arrived.
It's perfect weather for snowball fights and building snow dragons. There's just one problem.
Snow and Britain do not mix well and I had to get to work!!
I scraped two inches of snow off the car before setting off for work. Early morning not enough cars have driven to make a mark on the roads. I got through the first roundabout fine but despite slowing greatly i slid a little at the second one. A nice policeman frantically waved a "slow down" at me. I of course had already worked that out.
So a nice slow amble to work where I saw : one car with a crushed bonnet waiting on the side; A lorry jackknifed halfway up a sliproad/hill blocking the road so three police cars waved people away from it. Also only one lane of traffic on the dual carriageway.
All in all I was roughly 15 mins late and I thought taking my hiking boots in to use later was a good idea. It's still snowing and the journey home will be fun.
But hopefully I can make a snow dragon this time ;)
