My in-laws in Aberdeen say it's cold enough to snow there and they expect it in the next couple of days.

Snowed about 4" a month ago, snowed an inch a few times since, snowed 3 " last Friday and it sort of hung around until yesterday then it snowed some more over night.

It could get interesting come January when it snows properly.

Hmmm, whenever it snows round here I'm always out in the Micra.  Not that having a RRC helps because of all the numpties getting stuck or spinni=ng because they havn't the sense to realise they aren't good enough drivers to be out in the snow.

One of the staff managed to smash up a Fiesta virtually ouotside the school this morning, it was just abit of frost and frozen slush :roll: just think he overreacted and braked too hard.  Big mess of the car though :(

I think I know that hill. I stayed at the village hall from boxing day - new years day a few years ago when it snowed as we were working on the canal by the resevior.

Those roads were interesting. Luckily I had the disco but was towing a box trailer all week. The car park turned into an ice rink 1 morning and didnt spot it. it got the abs working!!!

Acording to the BBC website:

Parts of northern Britain could see snowfalls of 20cm (7.8in), weather forecasters are warning.

Blizzards are expected across most of Scotland, northern England and the north Midlands on Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.

fingers crossed it comes a little further south!!!  :-k  :thumbup:

We still have snow left over from Tuesday morning (had about 6" overnight) and the forcasters are saying we should expect approx 20 cms tonight  :lol:

Its just a shame that the Disco is 2 wheel drive only just now and I am i the process of repairing a Mundano to replace it  :(
