I will succeed!!!
OMG it's insane out there! Well, the weather itself isn't too bad but the impact is!
With the bridges closed in areas the traffic is already bad at the moment, but with the ice and snow it's manic. It's taken me 2.5hours to do a 23 mile trip that normally takes 40mins. We're almost out of grit too (Cumbria Council were on the radio this morning about it) which isn't good as the roads into my village are bad already (they don't get gritted but they leave grit for people to use etc). If they can't grit the main roads things will get interesting!
Plus, my sister who is pregnant WASN'T in labour yesterday but has gone from having low to high blood pressure in 2 weeks since she saw the midwife and is at risk of getting pre-eclampsia (?).Midwife also said baby is 90% engaged so might be early. She's been told to stay off work this week (she's got 5 weeks until due date so 3 weeks left at work) but is now snowed in. Slightly worried about her as she lives in back end of beyond. If she can get to us that's not bad as we're not so stuck at ours, but otherwise it'll be air ambulance job by looks of it (luckily she lives by a farm with lots of nice flat fields lol).
Gah! And the sad thing is...it's not that bad weather wise as most of the country. It's just our windy narrow roads playing havoc really.
Anyone else having fun? Hope you're all ok!
