What is the correct URL?

And the tractor looked just like the picture on the left again :(bigsmile):

And its -6 wind chill at the moment :shock:

I wonder if the 6 inches of snow will be near me? Mind you 6" isn't worth issuing a Weather Warning - it's a normal snow shower :lol:

I've not heard them say heavy snow to be fair, just a serious chance of disruption, which roughly translates to Ramblers in Moggy miners clogging up the roads for propper cars.  :lol:

We live on a bank on a bend... must remember to put a tape in the CCTV, always interesting to see how much father the lamp post across the road will be knocked before they straighten it.

I reckon a couple of inches soon to be polished by eeejits with supposed traction control Beemers and the like.

Went to Lapland at Christmas, they just take it in their stride.

I will guarantee that there's not going to be any significant snow here in North Yorkshire.

I got Jess (my quad) back on the road last weekend (after a 6 month break).  It'd be too much good fortune for snow to come now.   :lol:

I dought we will get a blanket covering if we do get snow. Last year there was no snow (certainly none setalled) at college one day, but driving just 5 miles west, there was more than enough to cancel a model car race meeting, at which point the organisers were left with a couple of trailers in a field and every other 4x4 disapeared home before the snow got too deep [-X .

What can i say, I had to stay. Even if it was just to pull trailers off a feild it was still off roading on virgin snow leaving nice MT patterns behind me.

I just hope the temperature holds up a bit. Was -9 this morning where I was. Managed 1/2 mile and 3 locks in 2 hours. Gave up when the ice got to the best part of an inch thick.

It was -14 up at the summit level.

Just hoping the cloud will start coming in soon.
