Well we were told here in Bristol that we were to expect 10 inches of snow but there hasn't been too much of it yet. But the weather is expected to take a turn for the worse on Sunday. The worst of it so far has been the finger and toe-numbing severe icy winds rather than heavy snowfall, but that could change again by the end of the weekend. As long as the buses keep on running I don't mind especially as my job is a direct route to get to. The good side to schools being shut is the ease to get to and from work through the traffic. I am at that point in life where I don't have to worry about young children, child care or having to take time off for them is no longer a problem so I am lucky in that respect.
