No work for me today. Last year when it snowed the journey to work which normally takes 15mins max, took an hour and a half!!!

Walked to the hospital and back earlier, annoying but meh.

Drove from my house to my parents this morning in 4" snow, took a few minutes longer than usual but nothing major. It'll probably be worse tomorrow when all the slush and compacted snow freezes overnight.

Took me over an hour to get to J13 M6 today, can normally do it in under 15 minutes in the Corsa but couldnt get that off the drive so took the Connect.

Which was better anyway as its heaters are ACE :)
