i presume you have snow chains then?

cos other than that getting grip with a disco in the snow is less fun than a normal car cos its a lot heavier thing to stop!

you want to conquer snow?

buy a fastrac or a unimog!

Funny stuff snow nowa days....If they see it then thats it ppl dont go out. I remember back in the 80 when it snowed properly ppl got about fairly well. Now they grit the roads like we going to be in for a good one and thats it a light covering and everything is come to a stop..... silly

I WISH FOR REAL SNOW AND PLENTY OF IT...

Personally speaking, I think that's a bit 'off'.

I'll ask if they require assistance & offer it freely to people like I did twice on Friday on Holme Moss in the snow.
If they keep insisting on offering money, I ask them to donate it to the NCDL, or at the very least do the 'good samaritan' act for someone they see needing help.

Of course, if they 'demand' help, that's another thing entirely & then offer recompense I'll take their money & put it in a charity box myself

Only day in Calgary I didnt go to work was when the snow was deeper than the Delorean, and that was mainly cause I couldnt get the doors open, that and it was far too cold to be out and about with a hangover.

Calgary can take a foot of snow and it has no effect at all.

Well we're still getting snow showers and expect to until Saturday night/Sunday.  :D

Went down the to Harris Hills today, just for a drive, and went up a 3.5 mile track that leads up into the hills and finishes at an inland loch.

Car Parks on the side of the main road.

Climbing up the track into the hills with Loch Seaforth in the background.
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/heb-photos/Snow02.jpg)

These were about 2 1/2 foot long and were at the top of the climb!!
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/heb-photos/Snow03.jpg)

The top of the climb on the way back. The loch at the end of the track can be seen in the background.

The view on the way back down.
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e267/heb-photos/Snow05.jpg)

We were the first ones up the track since the snow started and it was hard to see where the track went in some places, even though the snow was only 3-4 inches deep, but all in all a good day.  :D

It started for us with a few flakes at about 15:40 & got a bit heavier

Images attached were taken at about 16:30.
By 16:50 practically all management had disappeared :lol:  (best thing for them)

By 21:00, it was freezing hard & Ambulance crews were complaining that screens were freezing up whilst in motion

At least it ought to keep the drunks away for my collegues on nights, as they'll get cold & go straight home

For the first time in a week I can see some green patches showing through as the snow finally starts to melt.

Some of the mountain roads were treacherous today as they turned from rolled/compacted snow to slush.

It will be a distant memory in a day or two. I'm sure we'll be back to complaining that it does nothing but rain around here :wink: .
