Thursday, January 30th, 2003: Left work at 17:50. Home at 21:30. Cambridgeshire is basically a [solid patch of black ice]. No-one's brakes work, and no-one can go uphill. [A14] is [gridlocked].

/Photos: Because 'photos take a little while to load, I'm shifting them to a subpage.

AlexChurchill: It's astonishing to cycle along a main road (heading Southbound) and see every road sign replaced with a blank white rectangle... O.o

Garbled: We have absolutely no snow in Brigstowe :-<

MoonShadow: My boss, who commutes from London, got back at 5.30am. Apparently, some people are still stuck on the M11 and the A505 from last night ^^; When I drove past the A14 this morning, it was chock full of lorries - all standing still - with no other traffic at all (which is a rather disturbing sight). Apparently, a lot of people have abandoned their cars and walked, and a lot of others are running out of petrol ('cos they kept their engines running to keep warm). Which is all going to make getting everything moving again interesting.

: It's very pretty out, though. Gives me pangs of nostalgia..
