I know were that snow plough is! (or one alot like it)
they don't seem to use it anymore though - so I recon you could fit it on the front of your van

I've just got back from Prague where there is an increasing amount of snow but here in Mid Beds, virtually none!
This country is snow obsessed!

its so frustrating seeing all these beautiful pics of the snow
and I go outside my work, not even a wet road, its dry, cold, but clear sky and no sign of snow
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

trust me its more frustrating when you have to dig your car out every morning and dig it back in again every night
and inbetween time you've got to avoid all the idiots on the roads

1963, I remember it well. My mum took me for a walk in the snow down to Felpham (West Sussex) Sea Front. My mum let me play on the snow on the stones
on the beach.
The trouble was I actually playing on thee snow on the Ice that had frozen over the Sea. I know this because I went through the Ice up to my knees and
the water was to me still a further 2 to 3 metres away. It was a bit cold that winter.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

It actually depends on the jet stream which moved recently, if it stays where is it, which it may well do, then we could have this weather for rest of
the winter.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

I remember that winter, I was 10 years old. My old man was in the army and we had just returned from a tour of duty in Singapore. Wasn't nice
at the time but no colder than winters today. Global warming? I think not.
