With more snow on the way I'm starting to worry I won't make it to London next weekend. I will be vey sad if this happens, especially as my train tickets are non-refundable :(

Fingers crossed for the Right type of Snow.

There is, in fact, a wrong kind of snow where railways are concerned, much as people mock the railway operators for it. That very fine, powdery snow we sometimes get finds itself getting into the points, and if the points don't work, the railway doesn't work.

(The curse of growing up with a railwayman as a dad...)

In that case I'll pray for the right kind of snow. LOL!

If it gets that bad, the meet will be off. But we should have snow too late in the week. *fingers crossed*

How can they not refund the tickets if the train isn't working?

They were super-cheap and one of the conditions is that you can't get a refund. Actually, I might be able to if the train gets cancelled. Not sure.

You should at least be able to get a rain-check (snow-check?). They'd have charged you for service they aren't providing otherwise.

I think no refund refers to you cancelling the trip, not them.

We'll see I guess. Hopefully it won't come to that and I'll be able to go

We don't have any anymore. It's all melted

It's been so cold here that some of the more heavily frozen stuff is still around. I noticed the lakes at Bluewater are frozen as well this morning. *shivers*

I knew there was a reason I decided to stay indoors today

The temperatures here have barely been making it above freezing at all. It was -3C when I went out to get petrol first thing this morning.

Ouch! It's 2C here at the moment so clearly you have it worse than us. The thought the north was supposed to be colder. LOL!

I'm worrying about that, too.

Definitely keeping my fingers crossed for no snow over the last few days of next week

It should be fine. Strong winds are pusher snow storms further and further north apparently and there should be rain by Wednesday.
Very icy here at the mo.

Ice is not good
