Re: Got snow?
This morning when I left for work, there wasn't very much. Now there's a couple of inches.
Should make the commute home slightly interesting. |

Re: Got snow?
Crazy here. My village is astride the A140 main road between Norwich & Ipswich and we are cut off in both directions. Jackknifed trucks blocking the roads and even gritters have been spinning off the road. Fortunately, I am retired and don't need to get out.

Re: Got snow?
We live in the sticks at the top of a steep hill (Kent) and we got a reasonable covering on Monday night. I keep a second set of wheels for the wife's car with snow specific tyres on them for just such occasions so nipped out nice and early Tuesday morning to swop them over. She made it too and from work no problem, and back in this morning... Just had a phone call from her, "Darling I've just popped out on a visit and someone has pinched the wheel trims off my car". "That's interesting" I replied, "I took the alloys off yesterday and put the steel snow wheels on, they don't have wheel trims...." "Oh" she replies, "I did wonder why that car nearly ran into the back of me on the hill this morning....!"

After yesterdays blizzard drive to Ipswich, the main roads were fine on my return today, just the side roads & my drive are dicey. But I'll get the grit out tomorrow morning and do the road behind my house, making it easier for everyone.

Re: Got snow?
Not had any here in southern Spain. Shorts most of the day but will switch to long trousers, and add a sweater for the walk into the village...
