What it’s really like to be snowed in
January 7th, 2010 by Sarah Parker
Isn’t it infuriating when they go on about the terrible weather down south on the news and the presenter is stood in less than 5cm of snow! So I thought I would use this blog to show what deep snow is all about and how grim, but pretty, it can be up north!
On Tuesday morning after 24 hours of heavy snowfall and gale force winds we awoke to the road to our house being completely blocked by a series of 6ft drifts. It was like a Mr Whipy ice cream van had gone on the rampage overnight with white banks, curls and folds of snow as far as the eye could see. I had to lift Sammie over one of the drifts and he disappeared into a dog shaped hole on the other side! He was not amused!
If it hadn’t been for our trusty builder moving in next door I think I would have been stuck there till if thawed in June! But luckily once the wind stopped filling the lane he came and dug us out from our icy barricade.
At least next time when I call work to say I am snowed in at least people will believe that I am not exaggerating!
Snow Stopped Play

It appears that the vast majority of folks in the northwest got the day off today as the heavy snowfall ‘wreaked havoc’ with our transportation network. Though Trafford House was very quiet, about half of the Access team managed to battle through the snow to make it in to the office.
When lunchtime came around we could resist the lure of the snow no more and descended on the deserted car park opposite the office. With 6″ of snow outside it was inevitable that grown adults were going to behave like children!
