Snow days

Durham, England is slightly better prepared for snow than Atlanta. But that's not saying much. The news of the day is that Anna's school bus (a minibus hired from a taxi company) wasn't running today: the bus driver called just after Lewis left with Thomas and Iain to say that the smaller roads hadn't been gritted, the bus was having trouble getting around, and so it seemed unsafe to proceed.

Not again! Anna finally got to school (don't ask--Lewis doesn't want to see the inside of a car again for a while) and we got to work around 10; left just after 2 because my office was freezing and Lewis was picking up Anna at 3 and then Thomas at 3.15.

Some more snow fell this afternoon and he got stuck in it, arriving home just before 5. That's right, 5.

Tomorrow we may just stay home!
