    ....And it all grinds to a halt!!!



    Am i missing something?? It's been forcast for weeks. We had it last year quite badly. We ran out of grit. We have more this year.

    THE SNOW!! Why the fek do our roads and transport network grind to a halt every time it snows.

    Had thunder and lightning today too, well freaky for the winter.

    lol, yeah they've been promising us some warm weather for years. I've not seen any.

    (I agree on the entertaining at first thing, but still so much fun to be had, and heart stopping 2mph moments down a slight incline )
