We had a couple of inches here overnight. I was very temped to go out for a ride last night, but waited until the morning. A lot of slush on gritted roads and paths but no problems. But, what really annoyed me, was that the school across the field - and, apparently all the schools in town - are closed. CLOSED, because of TWO INCHES of the white stuff. Any excuse for a skive, it seems, by today's teachers. In my day, we walked to school whatever the weather. I remember walking a couple of miles then home for lunch, back again and home in the afternoon, during the winter of 1963 in North Devon. Wimps!
