bugg*r p*ss f*ck sh*t

Sorry - team England is a no-show for Rockville. 10cm of snow and the airport grinds to a halt. For many hours it looked like my flight would remain whilst many others were cancelled - but not to be. Runways had been cleared for 3 hours and planes starting to take off, but de-icing of planes was v e r y s l o w so they start cancelling more flights. Left home at 4.30 am and then 13 hours to get nowhere!

Weather is very unusual here - longest snow / ice period I have ever known. Haven't seen this type of snow for 30 years. Usually it comes from east / Scandinavia and dumps on ridge of hills down the centre of England. For last +3 weeks it comes repeatedly from north :-(

I'll stick to Scalextric racing at home!

Maybe see you at Finale
