Snow Day

We had a snowfall overnight.  Not a huge amount but most things grind to a halt in the UK when we have snow. 

Schools are shut because the councils don't seem to be able to clear the roads properly so the teachers can't get through the snow.  Even better - they can't provide enough coal for the boilers in some schools or grit for the walkways around school so it isn't safe either.  Not sure what reasons ours closed for but HEY.... A DAY OFF

and look at this - the bin men actually emptied the bins.
