Heavy snow is forecast for the south on Thursday so lets be careful out there and maybe get some pics up if poss.

Got about 1/2" of snow here in the North East. Not enough to go sledging on, but enough for people to be crashing into each other!

For once in my life, I hope not.

I've 6 lorries of concrete coming

no snow here yeyt but -5 driving in

wish I had a camera - there was a MGF nicely "parked" in a drainage ditch that runs along side I road I driver/cycle into work.

dunno how it got there since it was a fair bit after a bend - can guess trying to avoid another car - must have just happened as there were people and 2 other cars stopped.

Me too!

They usually 'stack up' waiting to land, over mine!

When I last flew in from Singapore, it was around 7am, I could see my house while going round in circles waiting for a 'landing slot'.......

i was reading that they expect london to be gridlock tomorrow because they are expecting 2" of snow.

having been skiing in canada at -25,why does London gridlock on only 2".

Heh heh, the first day of snow in Vancouver always causes chaos.

The city of Victoria (on the island) sold off all it's ploughs while I was out there as they "never got snow", then was shutdown while they hired some when they got a dump


martyn_16v - 7/2/07 at 07:42 PM

I'm fully expecting the country to grind to a halt tomorrow morning. Should be fun, as I need to get down to Southampton again tomorrow

Still, i've 'accidentally' left all my tools down there on site this evening so if I can't get there I won't be able to do anything else closer. Crying shame

If it snows tonight as much as expected (10-15cm in the midlands!) then i fully expect to be awoken by 200 chinese students marvelling at snow at 3am

DIY Si - 7/2/07 at 08:30 PM

Me thinks your in for a disappointment then Conrod! I hope it does snow, as I won't be able to get out of the village due to the big hills and really back roads! Hey ho, a day spent sledging!


wilkingj - 7/2/07 at 09:05 PM

Hopefully some Fun at last.. Been a bit wet and greasy for the Viento except for last Saturday...

SNOW... Yipee... Time to use the Land Rover to get to work..

Its a GT Tractor, not a Chelsea Tractor. Mines a Real Landy, not a Gin Palace on wheels


coozer - 7/2/07 at 09:57 PM
