Oh Dear...It's Snowed

[M44TNH]

Here we go again - a bit of snow and our useless country falls apart.
Classic quote on BBC North " M1 J30 - J15 snow in both directions"

Im thinking of leaving my new purchase at the garage for another couple of days though

I dont trust the road clearance team to give me a clear path home.

I feel lucky that it's my day at uni today so I can walk and leave the beast in the garage. Wonder whether my boss will expect me in tomorrow... Good luck to anyone who has to drive today!

[Mark.H]

how deep is it? are we talking 1-2 inch or some propper stuff???

[wildoliver]

Careful out there guys it's "blizzard conditions" definitely Arctic weather and quite possibly the greatest weather disaster for 100 years. You mustn't leave the house under any circumstances as we get snow far worse than the rest of the world, go outside and you will instantly freeze!

1-2cms in London ... All London transport buses cancelled! Truly pathetic.

I've just collected a 997 C2S from a customer to bring in for service, he lives on the Brompton to Knapton road which hadn't been gritted or ploughed. It was a fairly nervous drive in but the car did fine, I just had to take it very steadily. There was 2 cars in the ditch on the Westbound A64/A169 exit, a couple more crashed in Malton.

No shaving today men!!! you must look grizzly and wear chequer'd shirts and wool hats (lumberjack stylee) and commence with assisting women out of ditches!

Coming down fairly heavy in Beverley right now. Got the day off work so havn't had to tackle the 1079 or arras hill which is probably closed.

Time to get yer studded tyres out then.

took me 2.5hrs to do my usual 40min commute this morning!

does anyone know what was going on on the approach from the a63 to the humber bridge? spent an age stood still on the carriageway but there was only a single police car and no signs of an accident when i finally made it to the bridge. odd spot for a pile-up to happen??

i'd also like to thank the royal mail for the first rate idiot they had on deliveries around s.ferriby. complete pillock, he/she was driving with 2 wheels on the pavement indicating to the nearside and braking, then had a complete change of heart as i went to overtake with a lorry coming the other way. cue a brown trouser moment from me as i tried to stop. ended up mounting the kerb and putting the car into a snowdrift rather than ruin everyone's morning. arse.

4 inches here in Selby....set to get worse this afternoon/evening hence why I didn't risk seeing a client in Manchester this morning for fear of not getting back accross the Pennines later!

Anyone up for some 'bogganing later?

[jagdpanther]

Some people got up to 10", but Leeds got a couple inch if we're lucky!

I'm getting ready, taking the Volvo and the camera out for a few hours

[Killer2005]

Looks like I picked a good week for my week off work

Nice one, might go get the 355 out if you fancy doing me some snow shots!!!

The car had about 4" snow on it this morning, but the usual 30 minute journey took about 35 minutes once the snow was cleared off it.

I still have the chains in the boot anyway, so can't say I'd be that worried about it continuing (which is forecast).

Signs now that it's melting anyway. Met a colleague who's travelled up from Wilsthire this morning and says it's fine on most of the motorways, the Brummies doing their best to cause chaos though apparently.

I just wish we hadn't left our ski's in Italy!

Gimme a shout if ya do, but it is slippery out there

I'm not having to pay for a small repair to a small wall due to the Volvo taking a dislike to it

Just for once, London has actually had proper snow. Several inches and largely frozen overnight.

Doesn't excuse the complete inability to cope with it, but fair doos, it's grim down sarf.
