jef Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm sitting wondering whether to go to work or not. I need to drive 50 miles to Edinburgh, which I'm sure will be fine at the minute. It's the 50 miles home tonight I'm not so sure about??!!!!!! I don't mind driving in the snow, and I'm quite confident in the abilities of my well shod Berlingo. It's all the other tits on the road!

Wiggum Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I've got a 60mile drive to Barnsley this morning and have just had a message off one of my guys who lives that way to say up to 8 inches of snow fell there last night. Think I may work from home today ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm gob smacked snow plough has just cleared my road ,schools shut wots the country doing why shut schools ,the kids need to learn it's a pet hate of mine that I can get to work teachers cantle bothered, wonder if they get to school if they werent payed It's pathetic isn't it. My children's school is open and others in the town are closed. Why? Because it's Private. The staff (teaching and non teaching) make the effort to get in and the parents make the effort to get the kids in (my Mrs will be dragging them in though a blizzard if necessary - because they are a pain at a home and we want our money's worth out of the school!). Enjoy the snow. It's warming up a bit in Delhi at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) 2 to 3 inches, cold and picturesque here in the Rossendale Valley. I've just got up and I'm wondering if I should try to go for a walk about with the gun or the camera later on. As Jef has said, I don't mind driving in the snow, I;m quite a confident (And safe I believe) driver with nearly 45 years of driving experience but it's the other plonkers the worry me! With some of them give them an inch of snow and they just haven't got a clue! Edit: Forget about the plan to go out for a walk with either the camera or the gun, it's just started snowing again - I think I'll go into hybernation for a couple of months instead!

Cosd Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 We had about 6" but the main roads are all clear all the way to Hemel from Enfield. Every year has been a nighmare for me whenever there was a bit of snow. The Mercedes just had to look at snow and get stuck! First time out in the DIsco since I got it and the traction control hasn't come on once. I've been looking forward to trying it out but also nervous because of the weight of the car, but it's been excellent I have to say.

oscarsdad Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 There is about 8" sat outside my house near solihull. it snowed heavily Friday but then light snow all day yesterday and most of the night on top of ice which formed on Saturday. Roads are interesting to say the least. Good luck BMW drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Sauce Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Back in the day, the only time our school was closed due to snow, was if the heating had packed up or the huskies were on strike!! We now have Elf n Safety to blame for our school closures, for fear of our precious darlings having a spill on the ice, breaking something and the parent suing the school for negligence. Go figure!! Time for the school run/walk, happy days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevo_m Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I measured 12" on the car I have not been using since the snow started in North Norfolk on Tuesday last week, my other car has been great in the snow, Not bad for an Alfa Romeo GT!!. We had a little thaw on Saturday, but it has been coming down thick and fast for the best part of the week now. The roads have been excellent though with grit in the right places, which has meant I can do my 50mins commute to Kings Lynn every day. (although it did take me 5 hrs to get home last Tuesday after the heavy burst.) Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Been out this morning to take one of the vans in for service/MOT. Roads are perfect, well the big roads are, but got stuck behind a lady doing about 10mph straddling the middle of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
