Today I walked to school two miles uphill in the snow.

...yeah.

In other news, my research project of small joy and no wonder is delayed because of snow (I can't get my adviser to advise or indeed, sign off on the project as no one knows where he is) I am living in fear that I will tip headfirst down Headington Hill after dark, and no one knows where lectures are or classes are or if they're happening. Lectures at Harcourt and Wheatley are cancelled, not here, which is roundly annoying because the lecture I have today finishes after dark and ye gods, that hill is steep. Obviously, no bike, but I was slipping and sliding coming up. But it's that or live here forever, as the buses aren't running. It's an ill-omened day. I came up here to check my email and there was a man in the main reception having a heart attack. He was being helped - there were people gathered around, first-aid boxes and paramedics rushing in the doors - and it would've been crass to stop and stare, so I kept on moving, but, god. Yes.

Waaah. Don't wanna work. Wanna go out and play.

Cancel your last lecture, dear. I think it's for the best. Is anyone else in your general direction up there? You could walk down together...

In other news, OBC have updated their site, and my bus is running, thank goodness.

I say we cancel the rest of winter. Sunshine and warmth would be a nice thing right about now.

How much snow has Oxford gotten?

Probably very little, by your standards! :) Twenty-two cm seems the absolute most - I think we have about half of that here.

Srsly. How often do you actually get to say you did that? :)

The Stagecoach and Oxford Bus Company websites say that the buses back to East Oxford from Headington are all running as normal (did you know about the existence of the U5? Cowley Road to Gipsy Lane? I didn't!)...

They seem to be running again now, thank goodness. Brookes had sent out a mass email of woe and panic concerning buses; is all put right now!
