We had a little more snow during the night. Just over 2 inches had fallen overall. The above snapshot will show that it wasn't too bad. Given yesterday's North East wind there was some drifting. However, the A12 and A14 roads (our two major roads in this area) were closed, so that we didn't get our post or papers. Some car drivers were stuck on the Orwell bridge for six hours, and there were traffic jams on the A12 before it was closed , so that some people had to sleep in their cars there overnight. There were no trains and no 'busses running. All the schools were closed. All this because two inches of snow had fallen!!!!!!! It seems to take our local services and authorities totally by surprise whenever snow falls in winter. Rotten bad organisation somewhere.
We had an appointment to take our car into Bury St. Edmund's this morning for its service. Ann 'phoned the garage to confirm the appointment, and was told that the roads in the Bury St. Edmund's area were very bad, so we rearranged the service appointment for January. We then decided to walk into town for a coffee, and to do some shopping. More photoes in next blog.

same here old bean. Lots of snow but not actually that bad really. Side roads tricky but main roads clear.
Just as well as the daughter is driving around...;-)
Always a bit worrying 4Ds. Especially for me, as my oldest daughter is one of the most aggressive drivers I know. Fortunate that she doesn't read my blog.
