The good news is that the powers that be have declared that, thanks to the unbelievable amount of snow that has fallen since 9am (and continues to fall) my office is officially closed and we can all go home.

The bad news is that the roads are also all closed which makes achieving that a little tricky.

And apparently it only gets worse the further East you go - guess in which direction my home lies... Oh yeah - 8 miles East and up a hill.

Still, at least I'm stuck in a nice warm office with coffee and Internet and not in a snow drift by the side of the road somewhere...

ETA:

Allan is trying to get back out of Glasgow City Centre to where I am with the car. The trains and buses are both cancelled. He asked how deep it was here. On the basis a picture is worth a thousand words I sent him this (click for bigger):


That's our car on the left...
