I just looked out my window to be amazed i love it when all of the sudden the whole street is covered by snow, a fox or cat has walked across my drive though and unsettled the smooth perfect snow loads of paw prints

I rate this thread -5 stars, as all you southern bar stewards get bloody snow, and I get jack ****!

I am away to bed. If it is not snowing here tomorrow, I am travelling south. Somewhere. I love snow. I am jealous.

yeh i got snowed in to a degree last year. My road and all the other side roads the gritters had not bothered with, so i could not get the bike out to the main roads and ride to work.

They were saying on the news that we may get "upto" 20cm of snow in the east and south east overnight and showed a whole bunch of gritters...at the depot. Why they aint out i dont understand tho.
Perhaps they are waiting for the roads to be gritted so they can go out, lol.

Just watched the local news and the council have hired farmers and their tractors to help on keeping the roads clear,the problem is that the council are home in bed and unaware its snowing.so no gritters or tractors.

We have not had any snow for two days now, but the 45 cm on the ground at the moment is a good base and we expect more this weekend.
The gritters only do the main roads so the side streets will be like this until April

Gritters are naff-all use if you have snow - you need a plough. If the gritters work, it's not snowing hard enough...
