We hardly had any bad weather last year, I don 't know what all the bloody fuss was about. There were only about 5 days over winter where a bike couldn't have been ridden safely.

Soft southern poof, we had weeks of it here where you were skating about all over the bloody place.

Maybe it's just our incompetent councils who don't buy enough salt and then go absolutely f*cking mental with it the first mild frost there is in October...

We had at least 3 weeks of snow on the ground. Main roads were cleared pretty quick, however the paths were impassable for ages.

Same here... where we used to live, the ickle roads on the estate were impassable and it was only about 400 yards to the main road but it might as well have been 400 miles.

Now we live out the back of beyond, I doubt that the Council will grit the lanes.
