THEY CLOSED THE SCHOOL! I cannot believe it. No more than 2 inches on the ground and they've closed the school. Wouldn't have happened in our day. Wouldn't have happened in Hastings. It has here and as I lay in bed I thanked my good karma for giving me a day back to plan some lessons.
I didn't waste it either. While the rest of Winchester was outside building snowmen and toboganning I slaved over my laptop and churned out medium term lesson plans for all my classes.
I found this satellite image on the internet - very impressive shot of the UK under snow.
They are talking about a "big freeze" on the news and it certainly is cold. The snow has packed down on the roads and pavements and it does look like a winter wonderland out there. With very little snow clearing equipment, grit or salt, the only thing that will shift this lot is a thaw and that's not happening for a while. Time to hibernate.
