Default Snow..

Don't get me wrong, I like the snow... But people don't half make a fuss about it!
Got about 2inches here and it's still coming down strong!

I dont see the big deal, a red warning????

Have they seen Canada?

It's only snow! Driving is safe if you be careful, tbh riding a bike is still safe as long as you take the proper measures and have decent tires.

Good man. When we had the snow a couple of years ago my work at the time closed down their site and told everyone to work from home. I drove in at lunchtime in my Skyline and spend an hour or so drifting around the car park.

It is utter bull. We've not had refreezing thawed snow yet. That's when it gets really ice, so there's no dramas. It's pretty pathetic.

Now must go and pick up all the dog turds form the garden before they get covered in snow else it'll be highly risky building a snowman later.

The fun with BMWs in the snow is to see if you can get ALL the yellow lights on at once. Extra points if you are going backwards at the time.

Just walked Jasper in it. It must be bad. I bet we have a whole 1mm


Although I do laugh at the advice on TV/Radio to only make essential journeys. Try telling the bosses of Britain that getting to work isn't essential.

No snow in London yet. First sign of snow and I'll start getting requests from my work lot "can you book us Hotels for the weekend if there's travel disruption"?

"What ? No feck off, slackers!
