We are still in Yorkshire and it's all my fault.

It was thawing late yesterday, Mark said - let's go, but it was already gone 1pm, and we'd be getting home in the dark and I was worried about Dad, who needs a lot of forewarning about any kind of change to his routine and I said, no, the snow ploughs have been through, it's thawing, it's raining in some places now, it'll be OK, we'll leave tomorrow morning...

What the ploughs left behind has frozen into an inch of solid, shiny ice - everywhere. No buses are running anywhere between here and the motorway, not even central Huddersfield. More snow is forecast today, the sky is full of it.

We're buggered.
Mood:: 'depressed' depressed
location: Yorkshire
Music:: Me, beating my breast, wailing in rage

Sorry to hear that! :( you couldn't have known though, and at least you're still with your dad, so he's probably more comfortable with the situation than if you'd left...

Stay warm and don't fall!

Dad and sister and partner and assorted animals all with a case of severe cabin fever. *g*

Won't fall, not going anywhere! No one is, it's eerily silent out there O:!

You should find some snow shoes and get out!

It's always eerily silent in REAL winter! The snow muffles the noise... ;)

Hope you escape soon luv.

I'm afraid so, and I've just been informed my birthday presents are all still in Withnell, as is my phone which has been on charge now since the morning of Dec 23rd.

Shaking fists at it doesn't help, believe me I've tried. Could try lining the route with warm cabana boys...

Not too worried about the pressies, it's one of those birthdays I'd like to quietly forget. Any chance of me borrowing your '50' icon, in 26 hours, I shall be in need of just such an item.

Oh babe! Surely not! I thought you were decades behind me in the zimmer-stakes... the icon is yours for the taking natch - but I'm sure a nice randy, sexy, erm, artistically unclothed lad would be far more... inspiring!

It's scarily icy, I've never seen anything quite like it, it's scarily quiet on the street, no one, nothing is moving. most worrying of all, I assume this means our wine won't be delivered again.

You were listening to the BBC talk about black ice in Yorkshire? Might one enquire why?

You could try making your own... You probably have enough time...

It was the middle of the night... There probably wasn't anything else on!

I am beginning to wonder if this weather will ever end. Yesterday things were starting to thaw. Froze hard last night again, as hubby found out going out to feed the birds this morning and went down hard on the iced slabs. Nothing broken thank goodness. But now it's snowing again, and so cold. More to come for us as well tomorrow..

Meep. Sorry you're stuck. The ice has been awful here too, and just covered the whole road and pavement - and if I thought my slope out was bad before - ha! Everyone on my street must have known it was icy at 6am as I slipped my way to the bus with a whoops, whoa, squeal, waaaaaa, sh*t! I think Ripley was going to be a no go zone for buses as he slid round it verrrrry slooooowly. Quite scary!

Not so bad this evening, but it's going to be bad again tomorrow, it's absolutely freezing here now. And we're forecast more snow on Saturday. Oh whoopee do.

Keep warm and safe
♥
