Default Sitting in the window, watching cars get stuck...

Obviously this makes me a bad human being, but I've been sat here for half an hour watching assorted idiots get stuck in the snow on my street Funny how I could get up it with just one driven wheel but this guy in a BMW has been sat there with the wheels spinning at about 50mph for 10 minutes.

Makes me chuckle when I see people struggle in the snow. Apart from when it's me.

There are some simple pleasures in life, and watching other peoples inadequacies at something you consider yourself good at is one of them!

ditto, PICS PLEASE. Not seen snow in the 'flesh' for ages! It's bloody boiling here!
Used to live on a steep hill in Rossendale, Lancashire. The amount of times I was out there with shovel helping people up the hill, well I'd be rich if I got paid a quid for each time! A Hem!
I also used to GRIT the place too. Things you do when you are either a) Bored, b) TOLD TO by your Dad!

I think it'd be a little rude to walk up to them and take photos We're past the best now sadly, but the sideroad is still quite slippy, I'll see if I can nab you one. Apparently we might get up to 6 inches of snow tonight

Hope you have the light on Northy? So that they can see your smiling face as you sip your cuppa whilst enjoying the spectacle?
