Four hours and counting for what should have taken a quarter of that. I'm hoping to see her by June or July but I'm not very hopeful. She'll want to try and get into work tomorrow as well, I'm hoping this afternoon's hell will help me convince her not to bother. Where abouts are you based? I’m in fenham and the whole of the West end is goosed. Either way, it sounds like the entirety of Newcastle has been butchered today, same tomorrow apparently.

For a moment I thought you got snowed into a portaloo and had to get some lads in to dig you out.  That would have been a far better story, especially if we found out how @Steve Justice approaches a portaloo!

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 28, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2018 She's still on the train. Still not moving. There is absolutely nothing I can do, it's incredibly frustrating. I genuinely don't know if she's getting home tonight. Nowhere's reporting on the train's status because it's so delayed it's dropped off all departure/arrival schedules. She'd have been better off being stranded at work overnight. Sorry to vent on here but I feel useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 Nix you can do HG, if she works an hour away, I imagine the issue is that they are prioritising long distance trains due to the potentially bigger knock on effect if they don’t get to their destination. In their mind a ‘local’ journey will arrive tonight, a train to Birmingham/Glasgow might struggle.. so platform space is granted to them. Where’s it coming from, south, Carlisle or up coast?

It keeps snowing in little spurts and we've had it heavy but it's never settled. It' bloody freezing though. Was -4 when I left for work this morning and -2 when I came home I hours later.  I feel a bit left out, all my friends and family on Yorkshire are snowed in and off work, I don't think I'll get a day off anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was moving as of 25 minutes ago so all being well she'll be back soon.

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 Today was hellish. Sure, snow is pretty, but not so great when you have to work. I went to the shop opposite work to get a drink around midday and came back looking like a snowman. The streets around North London have been really, really quiet. I assumed today would be the worst of it but according to the forecast tomorrow and Friday will have just as much snow. I can't remember the last time it snowed so much in London.

d-d-d-dAz Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yeah I’m super lucky I can work from home if needs be. I live in Isleworth and work in Hammersmith and travel between the two was near impossible. Took a stroll to Twickenham to the gym when there seemed to be a break in the snow, but the walk back was fucking bleak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather here is due to be worse tomorrow apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
