    Snow reports....?

    Here we go again as some parts of the country grind to a halt.
    Who has some?
    Who doesn't have some?
    Who is loving it or hating it? (Jessop in the GT obviously due to the pics)

    Of course, the 5's in there turned at 90 degrees so its width ways cross the garage... Plenty of room to get round it with the welder!!

    about an inch at the most but it still took me an hour to travel the whole 3 miles home, roads were not even bad, people just drive so slow and panic, its pathetic!

    Snowed yesterday in Swindon but now it's just lumpy ice on the paths and FREEZING cold!!! Brrrr

    I can't really get snowed off work as I have a laptop to work from home with if I can't make it the entire 1mile into the office.

    Drove to Watford and back today, set off from Pembury in Kent, (which had 'quite a bit if snow'!!!). No gritters or ploughs to be seen on M25, made it to Watford... Not a single flake of snow there...
    Got back tonight, still no gritters or ploughs on motorways!!!
    The car I took was a brand new fiesta.... Absolutey ****e in the snow!! No traction, crap on brakes and wipers froze, so practically blind all the way there and back. Would have preferred my old cinque sporting, but sold that recently

    That's pretty warm compared to some areas up in Scotland isn't it? The weather reports earlier were saying that some areas could have an air temp' of -25 tomorrow night. God knows what the wind chill will be

    Makes me laugh; we've had over a foot of snow up here, and double that in Northumberland & parts of Scotland, yet life goes on, it doesn't cake up the news (or daily rags) for days on end with the same old same tales of woe, yet London & the South East get a 24hr dumping and it's 'breaking headline' news, front-page of every newspaper, airports close, motorways gridlock, shoppers panic-buy, blah blah blah.

    I bet the drive down to my folks tomorrow afternoon will be fine for 3/4's of the journey, then a fecking nightmare as soon as I hit the M25

    And...relax

    They didn't even bother gritting any of our roads here last night, had about 4-5" of snow, no problems getting into work, but seems that people cant drive, they see a little bit on the road and they automatically wont go out of first gear and drive everywhere slowly. A bit of common sense dont go far really and you can drive anywhere really.

    We had another dumping of snow last night, and STILL there's been no gritters. Even the M25 hasn't been gritted round my way
