    How bad was your commute?

    M62, several lanes are snowed out.

    Usual journey is around 50 minutes. Took 2 and a hald today.

    Goind to leave by 1pm I think if the motorway is open again - people are still trying to drive in snowed out lanes and falling off the road.

    How was it for you?

    Abismal. I commute by train. Usually it's 30 minutes but due to the snow today took over an hour.

      5 minute walk from hotel as normal. What is a hald? As you posted at 8 did you leave at 5.30?

        I took exactly the same time as usual thanks. Where is the M62? Is this somewhere North of Watford? If so - what do you expect?

          Lugano to Zurich. Lots of snow but still took the same time as usual. 2h40mins.

            I walked as usual, slip sliding all over the place though till I got to centre of town... took about 10 mins longer than normal.

              From the apartment in Aldgate to the client next to the river, 5 minutes or 30? I don't know. Was it snowing? Didn't notice that either. Picked up a sandwich and some fruit on the way. Was it Boots or the Turkish corner shop? Stumped again.

              So much excitement, I think I might need a lie down.

                I got up 15 minutes early, ran the car for ten minutes to warm up then left 5 minutes early, which up Norf can make a massive difference. Everyone else left 10 mins early

                It was a nightmare, saw two cars collide, wheels spinning , no traction

                  From apartment to tram - 2 minutes as usual - it drizzled a bit though.
                  Tram ride - 30 minutes as usual - nodded off at the end but woke up in time for my stop.
                  From tram to office - 1 minute as usual.

                  I guess my life is less exciting than Wilmslow's.

                    Sorry, My commute which usually takes 30 mins, this morning took 35 mins (I had to warm the car up beforehand)
