How to survive snow - Except teachers

[Ferret]

I work in a cathedral school. Our head received a circular "Departmental Head" email from the Chapter Office saying that all staff in her department should be sent home and work from home the following day? Eh and what do we do with the children - particularly the boarders?!

Needless to say the only time we have closed in the 12 years I have been a parent or member of staff was when access to the school was physically blocked and potentially dangerous. But the Chapter Office work at home at the first snowflake.
