Pictures of Snow - Oxted

Big Freeze II - Oxted
- the only commuting taking place was by sledge, to the shops where there wasn't any bread -
Big Freeze II - Oxted
- (apart from French sticks being baked in Waitrose) tractors and 4x4s could just about limp around (no buses at all) -
Big Freeze II - Oxted
- and the tracks they made meant you didn't have to wade through foot-deep snow -
Oxted Station
- make it as far as the station and the signs weren't very encouraging-
Oxted Station
- all the "ghost trains" being diverted to trying to keep the lines between Brighton, Gatwick (which was closed) and London...the broken down train stuck for days at Lingfield didn't help much either... ;)

...and we've still got loads of snow at home, heaps of it, mostly now turned to ice...Brrr! I put the hood back on my snow coat this morning, put on a jumper *and* wore a hat...most unusual for me... ;)
