Snow
Since the school was closed and I’m doing a week of evening support, the kids and I had a snowball fight this morning which we all enjoyed. Unfortunately it was the wrong kind of snowâ„¢ and we couldn’t get a decent ball started for a snowman.
It’s odd, but I’m doing the same thing with this years snow as when it last snowed properly, January 28, 2004 I was also doing evening support when, during the rush hour, Birmingham ground to a halt. When I’m on evening support I have to move my car from the NIA car park to the office car park (by about 17:30 enough management and others have left for this to be possible); the car journey is less then 5 minutes, but on that day it took me over an hour to do it. I suspect it is memories like this which have led to so many school closures and the reported numbers of people staying away (although this didn’t seem to be very true of my office when I turned up). I know that the Highways Agency has said that people should only make essential journeys, but quite frankly all the main arteries into and around Brum appear to be clear.
