Snowing

[childminder54]

Its snowing in the midlands.I hate the snow dont like going out in the car for school runs. too far to walk.

[nell57]

Yep snow too, but I'm hoping its gone Monday

Its about to really come down here!

Its one of my gorgeous mindees parties 3:30pm-5:30pm and its about 5 miles away!

Luckily I have a Landrover, so am crossing fingers that all will be ok. I hope it doesnt start until afet the party otherwise people might not bother going.

I really dont like snow - its the after effects of us trying to get pushchairs across frozen snow!

I was hoping it would hold off til half term so we could enjoy it rather than struggling with school runs. Not bad here just now , contemplating going food shopping but worried it may come down fast once we are out!

No snow here in Cambridgeshire yet but it's very cold brrrr!

[Tink]

It's covered here, wasn't due till 6pm and started just after 2pm, local shop has no bread or milk, glad I did my food shop yesterday and it's coming down thick and fast, snowman to follow tomorrow!

I've shut the curtains now so won't look again until the morning!

I'm gutted as I've had to change my dinner plans now. I was s looking forward to meeting up with a friend too, but not worth the risk of driving in it just for dinner and a gossip. Hang on maybe it is

Its just started here and I'm very glad hubby has just got safely home from Ipswich. We have a bad weather policy that states we will not do school runs in the snow, so if its still here on Monday I will work with the mindees that get to me, because I won't be going anywhere

[Chatterbox Childcare]

We are out tonight but are going to walk. Hope the wind stays away as it is a 25mins walk each way normally

Been snowing here now for about 4 hours - settling well

Now I have to make a decission - one mindee here - I am supposed to be taking her home (only about 2 miles) in about 1 hour to put to bed and then babysit until 9:45 whern mum is due home.

I am worried that I won't get to mindees house and will be stuck in the cold with a 2 year old
or

I will get there but mum won't get home (she has a 25 mile ish journey)

or mum gets home but then I can't get home.


what to do

DH says - don't bother trying - let mindee sleep here (not registered for over night care - but guess she can stay here if I don't change and because its an emergency)

Oh flip - don't know what to do for best

Stay put Penny. Dh just picked Lucy up from work and loads of cars stuck or skidding on the ring road!
I don't do driving in the snow, just got back from tesco before it really started to stick.
