Stranded in Great Malvern, England, for me meant no exit: no trains or busses, and no highways open to travel; but I was lucky enough to have a place to sleep. For others in the town, it meant no where to sleep (but restaurants open). Here is the experience a "senior" friend of mine had:

"...our experience getting home last Fri / Saturday...The weather isn't always this bad in UK hopefully it was just a freak condition. We were held up for 6 hours in Tewksbury, the boy scouts were giving hot drinks and cakes to stranded motorists and boy I've never had anything that tasted so good. We made a fortunate escape through a road junction that was opened for about 10 mins and found our way down through all the old roads home . The journey which usually takes 41/4hrs took 24hrs. Was I pleased to see my own front door we were so lucky to have got out when we did - our car would have been submerged in Tewkesbury by now if we has stayed!"
