There isn't any snow....this is all a wind-up!......buggers.
If you'd concentrated you'd have known that from the start. People sent home that live in rural areas - note those who don't live in rural areas, i.e. Lancaster & Morecambe, are still sat at their desks. The Lakes is covered in snow, 45 minute drive away. Bentham and Littledale, very rural areas in the hills around Lancaster about 20 minutes away.
