Snow?
 
Look - I know that that a good portion of the rest of the country is in the grip of the worst snow storm since the last time we were in the grip of a snow storm...but I thought that you'd all like to know that it is snowing in Plymouth right now...:smt041

Blimey. It never snows in Plimmuff. I'm feeling cheated here. Not a flake.

Had a little bit of snow yesterday, but heavy snow forecast for around midnight, allegedly.

We have had a mad lot of snow and as I live in a cul de sac at the bottom of a hill and owning a rear wheel drive car I have struggled!!! Was blocking the road for about 10 mins this morning hehe

why does this country of ours struggle with a few inches of snow every year?-the scandanavians get on with their lives as normal with no probs despite feet of the stuff-its a bl00dy joke.Glad i've got the landy now though.

Because they have vast experience in dealing with it whereas we (as a nation) don`t . I don`t have any problem with it as I get it on a regular basis and ride in it . Having a Landy is no guarantee of being able to make it through this weather ...... poor Speedplay`s Mrs had a nasty roll on Black Ice and was lucky to walk away from it all .

but the problem we have badger is that the forecasters tell us days in advance when its coming and the gritters don't appear until after its lying.And having a landy combined with the ability to drive in this weather increases my chances of getting to where i'm going significantly higher than if i went in the car.

All the traction & ability in the world will get you nowhere when the roads are blocked by the bald tyres & no ideas brigade!
Best of luck!
