How do you guy's manage to have anyfun driving in snow? The second it snows the roads round here are filled with Idiots driving at ridiculusly
slow speeds. Today was the first real day of snow in Ashford and it's the same as ever, a little bit of snow and it takes 8 times longer to get
to work, It took my 40 minutes to cover about 3 miles (More than half of that is dual carriage way because of a combination of public works (Four vans
parked next to one of those Green boxes next to the road with a bloke directing traffic) and Idiots driving stupidly slow on clear roads. I had
someone pullout infront of me on a hill and had to slow from almost thirty to slower than the speedo reads going up hill and then had to follow him
all the way to work. and for some reason it seemed someone had moved the snow from the first lane of the dual carriage way into the other one as
there was a large mound of snow just beyond the line. I'm really hoping this is gonna pass quicker than it did earlier in the year because
it's driving me mad already.
Is it just me or does it seem that loads of people skive of work because it's snowing and at the same time the amount of off peak traffic seems
to go up?

people going slow annoy the hell out of me; i appreciate they have to drive to their abilities, but having the cheek to beep as i overtake is just
ridiculous! You need a 4wd, it really is ridiculous how easy it is to get about. Ive been driving through drifts, over grass and snow, without even
feeling it struggle. If you feel a drift on a corner you can just floor it and point it in!
And you REALLY need to be out before the roads full up with numpties! (hence the pre-7 start tomorrow )

I always get the one's who pull out right infront of me, if the conditions where as bad as they think they are then I would have crashed
numerous times. The otherside of this is you lose all visability, when your moving at a decent speed snow blows over the car, when someone decides to
drive at less than 10mph in front of you the snow starts to hit the screen, plus the inevitable lumps flying from the top of their car as it tends to
be the people crawling along that haven't removed the snow from their roofs.
My car can handle snow fine and can get through big piles front on but theres no way I'd risk trying to climb a steep mound of snow sideways.
TBH I long for a torque converter in this weather far more than four wheel drive.
