It's snow joke!

While it may be pretty and may also be spreading some early festive cheer for children up and down the country, for those trying to work through the wintery weather this week's been a real slog.
We'd love to say it's business as normal at NKD but even our dedicated team has been halved thanks to the snow and while we're doing all we can to keep productivity and morale high, we're really up against the elements here in Edinburgh.
With blocked roads, trains suspended, airports and factories closed and our dispatches on hold at depots we're finding it difficult to fulfil orders much to our frustration! With winter comes snow, but it's arrival is always met with surprise. Worse than that, it's almost as though there's nothing else to talk about, certainly not much in the way of business. But while this usually only lasts for the first few days, it doesn't seem as though the end is in sight this December with more snow and freezing temperatures forecast for the next couple of weeks.
As the government orders an urgent audit of the countries snow-readiness in the face of severe disruption we'd love to know how (if at all) the snow is effecting your business?

Dear NKD
The snow has closed our business all of this week, we still don't know if we can open next week. The roads to Colinton have not been classed as a priority by the City of Edinburgh Council and the drifts have cut off all access. We had to accept the kind offer of our local farmer to get our vehicles out towed by his tractor. The vehicles are now living in Morningside (under scrutiny by the councils traffic wardens!) so we can offer city services at least. Very disappointed in CEC's lack of effort in getting the city back on its feet, but delighted at the 'good neighbour' efforts!
