muddyplugger Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 From a UK perspective, we have a smattering around these parts (Co. Durham), which means that tommorow there will be: people driving at 4mph on the motorways using foglights braking hard when they see foglights setting off to work 8 hrs early 'cos its snowing filling up with fuel incase of shortage having to leave work early 'cos its snowing and then, blaming everyone else for driving like idiots in the 'ever so slightly damp' weather..... Of course, myself excluded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Raider Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Went to vist me sister today. (Orpington) mother was worried cause the telly said Kent was almost snowed in and demanded we set off for home before it got dark and started panicing when we got stuck behind a gritter lorry and kept telling Stringer to slow down "cause if the lorries are out there must be black ice"(you know how mothers are) but a blind man would have been grateful to have seen any snow there!! we all had great fun winding Grandma up about not having any food /torches/ blankets/ etc all along the M25 and back!!

Guest MJG Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 We have had a bit of snow today about a inch thats`all,i still had to go for a play!!! So who else has got snow today??? We hadn't but we have about 1cm now, enough to bring me to a halt in my FWD hatchback tonight, and I want to know if the smart arse who cruised past me on the road to Brotton at about 6.30pm in a RR classic was any body on this forum coz' if it was I'd just like to say 'thanks for the tug......

BogMonster Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Snow? No chance BBQ weather... this is what I was doing today... Gotta go and dig out some "after sun" as the hole in the ozone layer made itself felt! If you need a tow Martin give me a shout, I should be there by about half past October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Well there is about 1mm of snow here (Southampton & Pompey) so by local standards quite a lot! Actually enough ice to cause the ABS to kick in once, too. Not quite time to invest in a snowplough though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landi41 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Went to vist me sister today........ when we got stuck behind a gritter lorry Oh you mean a "salt shaker" We had 6 to 8" of the white stuff here overnight...(not unusual) they had 12 to 18" + to the east of me, disrupted many airline flights and road travel plans..............

Lars L Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Nothing to write home about here... But the weather forecasts are talking about heavy snowfall accompanied with traffic problems and eventual power shortages on Thursday. B) Looking forward to that - we have planned a get-together with some guys from Norway driving on uncleared forest roads on Friday.

BogMonster Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Correct Dave Summer hasn't been much so far but the last few days have been OK: Xmas day: Barbecue / beer / sunburnt Boxing day: Barbecue / beer / applied sun cream / still got sunburnt 27th: Day up exploring the hills with some others / managed to include a barbecue on top of a mountain (not far from where the photo was taken), and my right arm is now getting quite brown where it was hanging out the window Today: local sheep show / also managed to include a huge barbecue (for about 100 people), quite a lot of beer, and a bit more sunburn so now my nose and ears are peeling Godforsaken frozen rock this is, don't know why I stay here really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuko Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Here in the south of Sweden, we've gotten over 50 cm of the white stuff and it's still coming. Been out with the snow blower 4 times in the past 2 days and I'll be going at it soon. Hmmm...just thinking, maybe I'll take the landy out instead Todd.
