It's Snowtime

The recent snow has engendered a bizarre new form of one-up-manship revolving around the time it took people to get home on Friday. "It took 2 hours to get from A to B" - "Well it took me 4 hours to get from X to Y" etc. The prize goes so far to a woman I overheard in a shop - not just for her time ("six hours to go five miles"), but for the cunning use of a trump card - "and I had two ninety-year-olds and a diabetic on board."
