I made it through the snow!!

by Sarah

This morning I woke to find around 5 inches of snow if not more covering the streets AND roads of Manchester, the most I have ever seen in the city centre. I togged up, put my wellies on and ventured out in what looked like a mild blizzard.

On the walk to work, I heard various business people alike talking on their phones discussing the bad weather conditions, how they had been delayed and how buses had struggled to get up hills. Cars were wheel spinning and sliding about. It wasn't long before my phone was ringing, firstly Valerie rang, backing up claims of disruption to local public transport, she was unable to get a bus or tram from Crumpsall. Secondly Christina rang confirming delays on trains - they would both try and make it into work as soon as they could.

I took some photographs on my phone, hence the upload of Piccadilly Gardens, as it just looked so scenic a change from the usual rain and greyness.

I finally arrived at my desk and was met with a warm office and a round of applause. Slowly colleagues started to filter in, including Valerie and Christina. As our reward for the whole team making it into work we have all enjoyed a mid morning snack of jam doughnuts and coffee.

I can't wait for the next snow day.
