Well, Thats what I heard emitting from my Bosses computer, as she checked out the online radio (Metro, I think it was)

I'm glad its back up and running.

It's snowing here at the moment, but it's very stop-start. I'm happy I'm in a car tonight.

"the radio has announced all public transport has stopped."

It blatantly hasn't, considering I got home from college via bus and metro, and am about to ride the metro to work and back again.

I'd hate to be on the roads with a drunk driver loose in this weather.

You can guarantee they'll crash. Or run someone over.

During the last snow we had i hit a kerb and almost lost the back of the car when i was going round a roundabout, even though i was going *really* slow.

Same here, except the worst that happened to me was that I skidded into a high-ish kerb and scratched my alloys up pretty bad. Oh, and I dented the front of the car, but only a little one.

Not as bad as driving on ice though. I almost did a full doughnut spin this morning because the tw@ts at the council didn't bother to send gritters out to my neighbourhood...
