Great! Wife now stranded about 10 miles out of town, taxi dropped her off at a hotel which had no room spare so she's got to walk home. Decidedly pee'd off as you can imagine.
Any ideas?

Driving in fresh snow is not too bad if you take it easy, it only gets lethal when it has melted and then refrozen to ice or it it gets too compacted and gets icy....do you only have your volvo??

Holy macaroni!! The whole world just turned white out there. It's dumping it down.
Good photography day tomorrow

I am on a course which is incredibly boring and if I miss the last day I don't want to have to do the whole week again, but I really would rather just take the day off

Somewhere near a full Premier Inn outside Tonbridge. Near?

Langley Hotel is next door?

I'm by Stormont end- may try?

My drive is about a 35 degree slope, it probably ain't going to happen. She said there are abandoned cars on the roads. Crikey, one flake of EXPECTED snow and this country grinds to a halt.

Thanks.

be a knight in shining armour Anke!

Hotel or any friends nearby...or as a last resort the hotel lounge where she got dropped off unless you know someone with a 4x4 or snowchains

Wife back safely in Tonbridge Station. Waiting with other passengers. PHEW!

The train station should lay on some form of transport, be it bus or train. I'll walk and meet her at the station when she gets there.
Thank goodness I never went to work! I'd be sleeping in my car on the M25!

Good news. Hope she's back home soon.

Ok, she's a quick walker!

She must be, she told me it was 15 miles at one point Must seem rather daunting in a blizzard though.

My wife isn't too good with distances either...

But when she gets home, just tell her it was closer to 20 miles and you would have walked that far to go get her....

I would have bargained for 2 weeks breakfast in bed

She did well. Hope she's wrapped up well.

I'm not sure about my journey to work tomorrow- I have brought some work with me just in case.

Definitely a good call, at least you know she is with other people while they wait for transport to be arranged
