Snow?

[normalbloke]

So, we potentially have a major snow event coming on Friday.

Who's coming out to play??

[ecain63]

Not me. Im pissed off! Possibly ruined my chances of picking up my new car on Saturday avo.

[cptsideways]

we shall be out playing in the stuff

[Fuzzy72]

If its deep, I'll be out in it putting the V8 Disco through its paces. Just put some new Insa Turbo special track tyres on it, so plenty of grip

I'm picking up my Z4 from the wheel specialists in Ferndown after a wheel refurb and new tyres (not winters!) haha!! Should be....interesting?!

[trando]

Bet you it will be the same as any other snow prediction for this part of the world... 1/2 an inch max and everything will grind to a halt....

[HaylingJag]

No doubt I will unleash the 115horses, LSD and rwd of the MADza out there, keep on the airwaves fuzzy, I may need you to pull me out of a ditch somewhere local??

[normalbloke]

Well, since the Unimog has gone, I only have the S2000 to play with now.....

[ecain63]

Looks like the snow warnings are dropping off. Our area looks likes sleet and rain friday and rain followed by a bit on sunshine on saturday.

[StefanVXR8]

Well I think I shall again leave the VXR8 on the drive and take the Freelander. We've got the 500 booked in for its MOT on Saturday but something tells me its skinny vintage tyres will probably be OK in the snow, if I can get off a sloping drive and of course the hill we live on! Tomorrow is slumming it on the train to London day.

Forecast does look like we shall have a bit of the white stuff on Friday, so wherever you are on road or foot take it easy, no slip ups!

Let's see how it pans out.....who's dropped off any warnings? Looks like the Met will ramp it up tomorrow..

[danyeates]

Met Office is still forecast heavy snow for Lymington.

Wonder if it will settle.

[Crafty_]

I reckon it all depends on temperature. Depending on which forecast you look at the temperature will be anything between 3 and 1 degree.
3 = sleet, we'll be ok
1 = snow, chaos will ensue.

Seems it will start gently in the morning, be in full flow early afternoon and then tail off late afternoon/evening.

Driving in it I don't mind, but everything gets blocked up and you sit in traffic forever.

[GT03ROB]

Well BBC is forecasting 0c & heavy snow from 8 til 6pm........

....shall use the RRS for work tomorrow methinks!

It is snowing right now in Andover, just rang MissB at home she says it is snowing there too.


I'll be out in the S4 enjoying myself.

Thanks Daniel.
Looking at your profile I see you had two of them, both V6 Biturbo Avants say's good things if you bought the same again.

So far she's been faultless, absolutely a joy to own/drive and the Milltek sounds amazing

[RVVUNM]

No snow in Bristol yet

I saw your thread in Readers Car. Looks lovely.

Yeah, I really loved mine. It was a sports car/practical car for me as my girlfriend had an MR2 and I wanted to move the bikes/kayaks/boat around. I even made a good profit on my silver one!

Looks like snow for Southampton tomorrow by all accounts. Been a few flurries so far today but nothing more, feels cold enough to settle.

I'll take some work home with me I think!
