YAS328 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well here's something you don't see every day...!!! Was out clearing windblow and snow damaged trees today no fun walking down tracks where the snow is up to your thighs... 2ft average, no drifting as of yet and not a hope with any of the land rovers (without a back up vehicle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 OOPS, wonder what the driver said when it started to rollover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAS328 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Couple more piccys for y'all... The beacons on my truck looked awesome in the dark with 1ft of snow on the roof and making the whole roof glow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAS328 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 OOPS, wonder what the driver said when it started to rollover He walked away, bit of a strained shoulder and that was it. With it just being gravity holding the plough down he was lucky it never came further in to the cab. Another 150ft down the road and there's a 300ft+ drop for about 3/4 of a mile Tompy will be having a few days off work I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAS328 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 More snow falling now. The snow plough was recovered today by a Scammell with the biggest winch I've ever seen a huge Scania recovery truck and a 12 tonner with crane/ hiab to remove the plough. Quite a spectacle! ( and where was my bloody camera) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an aside - don't know if that's a public road you're on there, but never drive with snow on the roof like that - once the vehicle warms up inside you get a layer of water under it, and if you brake sharply it'll slide straight down over your windscreen It can also blow off onto the windscreen of the vehicle behind if you're travelling at speed.

Feel free to come up this way and stop every single motorist on the road and tell them that too. Vehicles behind, that'd be a fat chance in this neck of the woods lol.
