Anyone would think that car manufacturers didn’t design their cars to allow for people getting all the doors iced shut. What an oversight. Essentially what this meant was that yesterday I had to access my car through the boot. Very glamerous - Bum through the sunroof, arms flailing, nosefirst into the steering column and finally upside down in the drivers seat (by which I mean feet still in the back of the car while I half lay on the seat).
In hindsight washing the windows the night before was a mistake, but then there’s also the argument about actually being able to see out once in a while. Thankfully the doors would open by the time I got to work in High Wycombe.
Speaking of High Wycombe... anyone been there? Anyone been there in the snow? It’s a nightmare. I’ve travelled 25 miles and got here. Half the office who live within 5 miles of here are stuck because of sheet ice on the hills. I think I’m leaving early today as the snow is getting heavier and heavier and I really don’t want to sleep under my desk tonight! And it's only 0845 - pretty early to make that kind of decision!
On the plus side it is very pretty out there.

'Normal' people go back into the house khfor a kettle of hot water to pour over the lock!
But I wish there had been someone around to take a photo!
Mum
Doesn't that explode the lock or something?
Am glad to see someone else had an anti-snow traffic problems rant as well! Birmingham today was an absolute nightmare - never had a worse drive home. At least I could get into my car in a dignified fashion though...
You've got snow?!?
Not fair :( Ours lasted for a couple of hours yesterday morning, and there wasn't any at work.
I feel the need to defend myself! The lock opened but the door didn't - resulting in an unlocked door but a door, resolutely, frozen shut. So the boiling water didn't work (although did enable me to see that the door was unlocked).
And since when have I been 'normal' anyway?
