Confused...

Given that:

1 - I had a 500-ish mile three-train journey to take today to get back to Cambridge
2 - The train for the first couple of hours of the journey was replaced by a bus due to all trains on that line being cancelled due to a freight train derailing in the snow last evening
3 - Both the first two trains were running about half an hour late due to the weather
4 - The entire country (I think I've seen most of it today) seems to be covered in snow (except for Cambridge which doesn't have a single snowflake) with an hour or so of near-blizzard conditions on the journey.

How is it possible that I arrived home exactly on time? It doesn't make sense. Not that I'm complaining, of course :)

When I got here the flat was a bit cold (can't think why) so I went around switching on all the radiators/heaters I have. Doing this I skilfully managed to detach the cord that switches the bathroom heater on and off and can't see any way to reattach it, which meant that it was stuck on with no apparent way of switching it off apart from disconnecting it (which I eventually resorted to). Fortunately, I don't think I've actually used in the previous year at all, so it doesn't matter too much if it is broken.

Yes, although I think Cambridge was only on the edge of the snow today so we've probably still got less than most of the country. We did have a bit falling at lunchtime but it is only a light covering of the ground.

Yes, there was snow here before I went up to Scotland for Christmas (more than there is currently) but I think it had all melted after a few days, according to my colleagues who were here over the holiday.
