woke up to an inch or so in MK this morning, with lots more on the way apparently.

Is my journey to work necessary? Not at all, but it gives me the chance to take the jeep biggrin

I'm at work already, VERY heavy snow further south, watching the CCTV camera in Slough at the moment - roads almost impassable, 3-4 inches & still snowing

Take care if you do have to travel south, but if you're like Jumplead -
have fun.

I got to work just fine, its a lot worse here than it was when I left. Jeep was great, other morons on the road weren't so. I did however do my good deed for the day by way of towing a stranded BMW 1 series up a 1 in 6 hill after the genius had decided he could get up it in front of me.

Don't worry though I did mock him before I hitched him up, the hill was about the only stretch of road with no tracks on this morning (you can go round it on a gritted road)

Still even with the towing it only took me 20 minutes longer than usual to do the 50 mile trip into work.

Looking forward till home time now as the snow is coming down in a big way.

Feel so let down by the lack of snow in Northampton frown

The Scoob was perfect in what we had, hoping for loads more so I can make use of the new boots she has.

Did follow one duffer yesterday who thought his fog light made him impervious to the snow on the road and felt a 2foot braking distance was ample to the van in front of him. banghead
