(And if the corporate email censor lets this email through, I will be amazed. lol!)
So yep, as you can gather, we got snow overnight. About an inch up by me, reduced to about half an inch downtown. Everything looked absolutely beautiful when we looked out the window at seven am, which is impressive for Llanedeyrn.
Of course, getting to school/work was a nightmare. There was a crash of some kind near St Teilo's High School, which blocked off our usual route. The bus got diverted down Newport Rd and, because the Llanedeyrn roundabout was even busier than normal this morning, not even the fact we left early helped get Rowan to school on time. The bus dropped us off on Albany Rd, rather than at the bottom of Penylan Hill, so we had to walk up. Thankfully the teachers were really understanding, greeting us with "Ah! We wondered if you were going to make it!" rather than scoulding us for being late for a third consecutive day (bus was early tuesday, then overloaded on wednesday and sailed past...*grumbles*)
Didn't help that I'd had to stay listening to the local radio for as long as possible, monitoring the school closure reports for the first time since I was in education myself! *chuckles* Llanedeyrn High was closed, but there was never any mention of Rowan's school, or the other two nearby, so we headed out. Of course, once we got to Albany Rd I saw a sign saying the school there was closed. But then we passed one of the other mothers from Rowan's school, who confirmed it was still open.
I wanted to take some pictures on my walk in to work this morning - particularly of Gorsedd Gardens, outside the Museum - but I was so late, and so in need of a hot chocolate, that I opted to take the bus instead. By the time I got to the office it had started to rain rather than snow, but its not entirely cleared away yet. Very, very slushy though.
There are some awesome photos on the company intranet of the snow a year or so ago, from the roof of the Tower, but I think I'd be violating copyright if I shared them *sighs* However, I did get a few snaps of the kidlet on the way to the bus so expect a picspam at some point this evening.
