Snow? Yes please! The more the better!

I went up to the Elan Valley in the last lot we had, to take a few photos and practise my snow driving (ok, have a play). Was happily trundling through the 10in deep snow when I found the rather bizarre sight of a Mazda MX-5. He'd been fine right up until he met a farm truck coming the other way and got stuck while trying to get past it. Farmer and I set to and pushed/dug him out then watched as he reversed for about a mile back to the cleared roads. The daft bit was that he'd have seen how bad it was before leaving the cleared bits, so anyone's guess why he carried on in a 2wd roadster!

A good few years back I clearly remember snow all up the East coast from Essex to Inverness, at times it was 12" deep. Whilst in the fire brigade a few colleagues and I did an event for BBC Children in Need which involved driving all over the UK. Jeez it was cold :?

I have known it to snow down here in April and others tell me it has snowed in June, but I regard this as a myth :shock:

well its ppersisting it down up here... seems to have warmed up out there (mores the pity!)

...and can i just raise the subject of "its too cold to snow"

[Edited]??!?! its about -50 in the north pole... what does it do....snow!
around -10 and more in moscow - yep, loads of snow
quebaec? - i hear -40 is a reallity! and if our geography teacher is right, they retreat underground so they are warm and can move around because of.. yep... snow!

yes the pressure could be wrong, forcing all the little flakes to rise up into the clouds, and it could be too warm.. and down comes the rain... but please.. too cold for snow?!! (rude word) off!!

....sorry, rant over, had to get that one out after biting my tongue whilst talking to someone today....! :lol:

It snowed on my sister's birthday BBQ once (a long time ago) 11 July :shock: had to move all the BBQ stuff inside and it caused a little fuss, as everything had to be fryed instead... lmao

Also got a pic somewhere of me in a home built snow egloo in Brynamman (about 7 years ago) had a massive door and a window in it lol
