Snow drifts are amazing over here too. We had a blizzard pretty much non stop for two days. Crazy strong winds, so one part of the lane would be scoured to a glass finish by the wind and then the rest of the lane under a gigantic snow dune. at night, when it's quiet and lit by the streetlights, it looks like some strange saharan landscape.

On the way down to mum's earlier, people were digging chanels out to the clear side of the road for their cars. The mountain of snow piled up in the middle dissecting the road. Everywhere you look there are huge mounds of the stuff.

I ran out of Carrot food this morning. Saw it coming from a couple of days ago, when the snow hit and the village was cut off. He's been on chicken broth today :P

Oh, and I have juuuuust about enough milk for a cuppa before bed, because the shop was out of milk and out of powdered milk too. I did manage to get some coffeemate for morning.

I just hope the buses and trains are running tomorrow. have to be at uni for 10am. It's almost two hours at the best of times. And if the lane is as bad in the morning as it is right now taxis won;t want to come up there, so it's a walk to the main road for a bus, then a walk from the bus station across town to the train station.

I'm hopeful. The main roads usually stay pretty workable, it's the connecting streets that cause the problems.

[eta] by 'main road' I don't mean the high street, but the roads linking towns.
