Hey bobtail.

If you go out and want someone to go with I am only in Woodford Halse. Loads of lanes I am sure people will skid off into ditches to rescue!

How deep is it there Looks about an inch and getting heavier everytime I look out the window.

Fingers crossed it stays like it as then all I have to do is prove I can get into work tomorrow then get set home as too dangerous. Guys at work have said that if it snows there will be no chance of me getting into work. Pah!

Woo Hoo.....snow here in Warks this morning!

Too bad I've got to spend the morning at Church & visiting relatives! Maybe there will be some left this afternoon?

so they dont know what a 4x4 can do then :lol:

They dont belive I will make it through the snow even with a 4x4. Even if I have to hand winch myself up every hill I wil get into work to prove a point!!! Anyway, I reckon only 1/2mile of my 12 mile journey wont be gritted, unless I go the back roads then 11miles wont be gritted. :dance:

muddyjames · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:16:16 »

then 5 minutes later the road is hard to see. :dance:

Good point! at 6:15am though there shouldn't be much traffic about and being a bank hols. Yeah the back roads it is then!! :lol:

muddyjames · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:49:20 »

you lucky person. I am SO jealous. It is tempting me to go and visit my friends in Lincoln!! :lol:

Disco Matt · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2008, 08:53:20 »

We've got what might be described as a heavy sprinkling of the stuff here. It'll have melted by this evening.

Annoying part is that I need to sort out a whining alternator after one of the deeper fords on Strata Florida, so no playing in the snow until I've found the oilcan and managed to get some lubricant into the bearings (it's definitely that - WD40 shut it up for about 30 seconds so something with better lubricant qualities should fix it).

Too true! All this talk of snow is boring now and very unfair. Just we live nearer the Equator than the rest of you, we miss all the fun.
