Whoahahaha Liz hehehehe, snow chains for bicycles woohoo!!
No Clare, I wouldn't wish on anyone having to walk home four hrs because the busses stopped. Actually I don't think they can leave people stranded without an emergency place for shelter if they wish to make use of it. When I look at how people are dressed going to work by public transport when the weather is bad, some look like they would not be able to walk half an hour in those high heels and thin coats through snow in freezing weather.
Ken!! You rode by here on your bike and not paid me a sick visit bringing chocolates?
I got over the worst of it I think. A bit weak, voice sounds weird and rib cage still sore. It seems that my internal thermostat is working again and that feels better.
Here is an update on the snow situation, taken at 17.15 our time, they scraped the main streets so it looks like there is less snow but there really is a lot more.
