F***F***F***F***

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.

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
