Do you have access to weather forecasts?...if yes then I assume you knew of impending snow.

Been weather warnings on the BBC and met office sites since Monday. Admittedly it was unclear as to exactly where and when but consensus was Thursday afternoon/evening

Hope the shoulder is ok. I'm working from home today - Not because of snow, but because of ice! It's the first day I haven't ridden in because of the weather in years!

Completely the snow's fault..... and God's..... and you parents.

There.... you're absolved from any responsibility.

How awful that must have been for you.

In all seriousness...... you posted the other day how little sympathy you had for a 13 year old who did something stupid and hurt himself....... I called you on it....... God smited you......

I'll have a word with him, seems harsh......

Spoke to him earlier, he felt it was justified.

Just be thankful you haven't signed the chase helmetless bike thieves petition.
