The local farmer has turned up and is helping to dig people out. One down side is my wine & beer cooler has gone.

**TrixNFlix** · 10-01-2010, 15:37

What a nice farmer chap.

Get building a snowman and stick your wine and beers in that

Those icicles hanging from your porch in the last photo look lethal!

There's no grip to attempt that, 4wd would have helped but with just the rear wheels and no real weight to hold the back end down I just stuck it in 2nd gear and nudged it out of there. The whole place had a layer of an inch to two inches thick of ice sitting ontop of the tarmac (you could see some areas had broken apart).

I drove back to London from Dawn's last night too and pretty much got caught in what i'd call a blizzard the whole A419 from J15 of the M4 was a blanket of snow and then from J15 to nearly j12 was like a charlie motorway. I don't know what's wrong with the West side of the counrty as when I got to Slough it was raining.

Was that around half 10ish? I hit the A419 around then too...just left my mums, hardly any snow, as soon as I got near the dually, it came down like there was no tomorrow

**Adam L** · 11-01-2010, 18:34

Yeah, just around then, it really came down heavily. To be honest, visibility was a real problem, I thought I was going to have to turn around at one point.

What annoyed me, when I was on the 419 heading to the M4, two clowns shot past me at about 80mph. I was only doing about 40 as you couldn't see that far ahead and the cats eyes along with white lines had dissapeared under the snow so I had to use the kerb as a guide to staying in the lane. Typically, one of the ****s was in a TT and the other was a Civic Type R, what amazed me even more was they were actually racing eachother

. ****ing cockends.

More snow. I woke up this morning to find my road has been closed. I am sorry to people who are waiting for bits, but I am fighting a loosing battle at this end. I will get them out ASAP! Please see pictures!

Many thanks
