Be prepared this snow day
There’s severe snow fall across the UK today which means travellers face extensive delays and disruption on their commute to work. With gridlocked roads due to snow and ice, journeys are taking much longer than usual, and the Met Office is advising drivers to take particular care in deteriorating conditions and avoid travelling altogether if possible.
To further add to the chaos, some airports are closed, tram lines are down, rail services are cancelled and schools are shut for the day, thereby putting extra pressures on commuters who have limited alternative means of travel and childcare responsibilities to contend with.
At times such as these, it’s worth remembering the benefits of cloud software and outsourcing services. The former can be accessed from anywhere and the latter continue uninterrupted, whatever the weather.
