Loads of rain and little bit of sleet.

You can keep all that snow up north.

Rang the school (its on an exposed hill facing the peak district and we have to drive cross country roads)


Me - Are you open or closed?

School - We are open, not sure how many staff will get in BUT WE WILL LET YOU DECIDE TO BRING THE KIDS OR NOT

It should be the drivers decision to decide if it is safe to travel. In the Leicestershire terms and conditions it does state this.
I would never try to undermine a driver who says it isn't safe due to the weather. If they say it isn't safe then it isn't safe.

Except if school or parents cancel we get paid (if less than 24hrs notice)

well where is it ? the so called blizzard lasted half an hour apart from that we've had worse earlier this winter.

I have two drivers refused to come into work today based on the weather reports :roll: so was turning work away left right and centre between 08.30 to 09.30 but now DO DO CITY

those weather men need a great big kick up the JAXI massively overstating the conditions like that

Snow is like sex. You don't know how much you will get or how long it will last.
