I think it's about 4 inches, but she estimates it to be much closer to 3.

I take it you are refering to the snow.....

A day in the life of Grinder

Drive to work this morning....

The czech plane felt right at home in the snow

No flying today henceforth Biggles the (french) snowman was born!

Yes Georgie, I know I need a digital camera..... or an SLR.

Impressive, all this snow. Here, so far it's been a lovely sunny day! Great weather to go for a walk.

(Too bad I'm supposed to be working.)

Oh well, I suppose we'll get our share later.

Great job, OG! Lots of people do far less useful (or creative) things at work!

Love his moustache. It makes him look like a friendly walrus.

Good God indeed! On the normally only ten minute journey which took nearer twenty this morning I passed two rolled cars and an ambulance that had ran up the arse of a car turning off a sliproad. People forget snow is slippy I think.

Last time it snowed a lot here there were 4x4s stuck everywhere. Cars were everywhere. Armed with a shovel (just in case) and an old skateboard we got to work to find hardly anyone there.

As you may know the Chilterns are quite large hills and we did 10 miles in my old Peugeot 106. All we needed was snow chains! We stopped every 10 minutes to check that they weren't wrapping around the axel. We cruised by everyone grinning.

I don't think many places would sell snow chains but my brother got them when he drove to France for a skiing holiday.

Just watched an advert on the TV for 'Miracle Grow' fertiliser with a woman picking ripe tomatoes on a sunny day. Thought it was ironic and a waste of the company's money. Guess the DIY shops are suffering as well.
