missingsid Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 We had an inch of snow, very mild on the M40 but drivers stamping their brakes and hazards on down to 40mph. If it was rain they wouldn't of batted an eyelid. God knows what December will be like. That's what I love about the UK. Rain **** crash, snow **** crash, sun **** crash!

The killer here recently has been overgrown ivy and ash dieback has been the cause of most bits of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Possibly... Hopefully... I don't particularly want any of them to come down since most top in excess of 60ft and some are a few hundred years old at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The difference this time though was the direction of the wind. We rarely get a 90mph storm from the north. Here whist windy, it was the snow and then ice that caused the trouble. My 95yr old father-in-law is still waiting for Openreach to come and reconnect him. The cable from house to pole was pulled down. Ours was coated in several cms of ice but fortunately it fell off before the cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 In my best Davidi Attenborough voice....."as the Landrover slowly emerged from its tree....." A full days work (did you know that it is entirely possible to use a chainsaw one handed, yes adrenaline is brown and smelly) we got the bugger out of the tree or rather the tree off the landrover..... Damage assessment slightly dented roof just behind the alpine window, repaired in two minutes with a suction puller! Amazed that the sunroof wasn't in a million pieces, Perhaps the motoring gods do love me after all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to wait till it rains - softens up the green crud so pressure washer stands a chance! Hopefully temp will rise shortly so I can get new rear crossmember burned on, wife getting a wee bit peeved with a crossmember taking up permanent residence in the spare bedroom.

Happyoldgit Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Get hold of some of that stuff caravan types use to remove the green crud that builds up on their pride and joy if it doesn't get washed for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
