Hi Diana
Things are pretty tough for us here in UK too, we have had thick snow and ice since Monday evening, i have been forced to stay home from work for 3 days, i am out on the road viewing property and attending meetings so i took the decision not to go in. I am not taking unneccesary risks, work have been understanding, but if i had attended they would have let me continue - one thing i have learnt is you dont get any better thought of for being a hero.
Thing is though i still feel a bit guilty

They gave everyone the Tuesday off, but Wed and Thurs have to be taken as holidays - i understand this totally.
I just love the snow, it still looks so pretty, but the icy roads are a real danger. I know you love the snow too. Our schools are closed too, and lots of services are working to emergencies only.
