Apparently, Chalfont Drive had them all cancelled for one day longer than Colwick did!<\/p>\n<p>I also found out today that no tests went out Saturday, and all of today&#8217;s were also cancelled. It was -8\u00baC last night, and foggy, so everywhere was iced up this morning &#8211; and since it never got above -3\u00baC all day, it stayed iced up.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>EDIT:<\/strong> All Tuesday (21st &#8211; ice), and now Wednesday (22nd &#8211; snow) have been cancelled. I had one scheduled for the Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s not a lot anyone can do about the weather (though to listen to some, you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise).<\/p>\n<p>But I think people need to be aware of the effect this will have on test waiting times. Even before the snow, my pupils were picking up earliest-possible dates in March 2011. The current situation is going to push that out by at least another 3 weeks by my estimate.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>EDIT<\/strong>: People are <em>still<\/em> foolishly using the internet to try and find out if their tests are cancelled. <\/p>\n<p> Look on the letter\/email you recieved from the DSA to confirm your test, <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">and phone the local test centre <\/em>. They &#8211; and only they &#8211; are the ones who can confirm whether or not your test is going ahead. If you don&#8217;t phone them (or turn up if you don&#8217;t have their number) then you will probably lose your money. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I understand it, no tests went out from Colwick MPTC for two weeks during the snow.
