Chipstead calling...

We have about 3 to 4 inches of snow and it is still snowing lightly. Getting very very cold now so it will be freezing.

Am wondering whether the school bus will run tomorrow - it mainly services TWGSB, Bennett and Skinners (Skinners is open if you can get their safely) but can't find out if Bennett are open - I am wondering if they will run the bus if 2 out of 3 schools are shut. Does anybody know if Bennett are open?

I'm in Dartford.

Friday's snow was practically gone.

It's been snowing non stop here since 8.30 am and I'd guess around 3 to 4 inches

Also will my child minder get to me in the morning. I do like snow but it just causes endless worry! NB - Not actually expecting an answer to my questions but feeling better for sharing my worry!

Judd closed... supposedly they are posting work online to do at home for every scheduled lesson.....I really thought they would open as the roads are absolutely fine around here.

Very happy son, less happy parents - who are now going to toss a coin and see which one of us gets to annoy our boss and which one stays at home!

Yes, they can make one feel a little like The Most Popular Girl in the Fourth, especially in this weather or in the run-up to everything shutting down early on Christmas Eve :lol:
