I don't know what the weather is like in the rest of England or Europe but in London it snowed most of the day. We knew it was going to snow today since Monday, yet for some reason none of the roads had been gritted anywhere.
Needless to day, that today was possibly the worst day for travel around London in history.
Many train stations closed because of the snow and the sheer weight of people and roads were (and still are as I type this) at a 100% standstill.
I left work at 4:45pm today to drive the 22 miles home to Northwest London. This journey usually takes me about an hour. Tonight it took me 7 hours door to door and that was with one rest stop for 10 minutes. During this time I contemplated sleeping in my A2 for the night; or abandoning my A2 and walking a mile or so to the nearby hotel (which I have now looked online and discovered all would have been full!).
All I can say is that with my A2, I switched off the traction control which made the journey a lot easier and I hardly lost grip once on the whole trip.
How long did it take you get home?!
