Did you make it into work yesterday?

dxb335d · 02-03-2009, 02:18 PM

When the weather was at its worst.

Where do you live in relation to your work, How do you travel to work and did you get there.

I was on site, Left my house at 6:30 am and travelled 60 odd miles to site successfully in my Van by road.

I made it

CrimsonRedE93 · 02-03-2009, 02:21 PM

I just about managed to get to work, I looked out the window and thought there is no way I will get to work in the 330, so I walked the 0.9 miles to work in the snow

I know I have it easy

Where's the "No, I couldn't be bothered, bad weather or not." option?

jjbirch · 02-03-2009, 02:22 PM

never went to work yesterday as i had stuff to sort out, the worst was this morning 10cm in 2 hours, blocked everything up, going to start work next week and enjoy the snow and i live south_west

ed335d · 02-03-2009, 02:24 PM

I got up at 6, looked out of the window and walked the 0.001km back to bed. Tried to get the train in today, and failed. Ended up leaving home at about 10:30 and got to work just before 11:30

Good option Will that my boss actually did

Bit of tentative driving until I hit the dual carriageway into sunny Hull, then clear but bloody cold!!

MPG is shite at the mo.

marriedblonde · 02-03-2009, 02:45 PM

Yer made it in although I think I spent the first 10 miles looking out the side window... So much for nice big fat tyres...

Oh and I was going from CP at longleat down to Newbury

30 miles in snow and blizzard - lift in a Volvo.

booforty · 02-03-2009, 02:51 PM

I woke up and saw the snow

I then weighed up whether I'd prefer making a snowman or going to work

Had a cup of tea to think about it

Decided to make a snowman and get some use out of my old shoes

You need more options.

The weather was bad so I worked from home.
I always work from home - the weather made no difference.
I was on holiday

Yesterday, when the weather was supposedly at its worst, I drove from my in-laws place in Somerset home to Cambridge.

Took about half an hour longer than usual, no dramas.

Worst part was within a mile of home, as the snow had really started coming down, and the car I had on demo for the weekend (C Class estate) was God awful in the snow. Went out to pick up an Indian takeaway an hour or two later in the BMW and it felt like a 4x4 in comparison.

Made it to work this morning no problems, as I selected my office to be within 5 miles of house (and make everyone else travel in).

RichardM · 02-03-2009, 04:25 PM

I just worked from home too, no point in risking the 335d in the snow when I don't have to.

Porscha! · 02-03-2009, 04:32 PM

Today was worse here! Yesterday only abit of snow on roads until 4pm when it snowed lots today lots of snow all over, the main roads where OK but I live on a street with a big hill to get out of and the griters don't grit was meant to be at my part time job today couldn't go so got some other stuff done made £100 instead of £30 so not bad really!

MEGA · 02-04-2009, 04:12 AM

I couldn't get out of my road at all, too slippy. So was at home last 2 days. Got in today though.

My commute is over 90 mins and was still quite treacherous..

RCUK · 02-04-2009, 04:39 AM

Still at home today.

Live on a hill here and its a nightmare when is snows as they dont grit the road.

335 and snow dont mix ... DTC or not!
