Snowed In? No Such Luck

(It’s pathetic really, when you look at the weather in Toronto, and they’re still doing fine)
Up in Norfolk, what’ve we got? Less than an inch of snow, and no-one cares. The roads are gritted (although some of the backroads are “interesting”) and there’s no real problems at all.
In fact, the biggest issue was a certain bell-end this morning in a Subaru WRX on a gritted road who wouldn’t travel at more than 25mph. The fact they were in a 4-wheel drive vehice ideally suited to the conditions (even if they had been skiddy/slippy) seemed to have passed them by completely.
And that’s the only reason I was slightly later than usual getting in to work this morning.
