it's -6C and snowing like Wij's pube-dandruff

[TdC]

later today I shall create a SNOCOX!!1111

 

[Wij]

I resent this on some level

 

[TdC]

but not on every level?

 

[Scouse]

It's sunny here. And above freezing.

It'll probably rain this weekend, rather than snow. Then it will continue that way for the rest of the year, apart from a two week break at the end of April where England will be a green and pleasant land, rather than a grey and shit one.

London has its own climate. Rest of the country can be knee deep in snow; we get a light dusting if we're lucky.

 

[Lamp]

Well, according to BBC Weather, a chunk of the UK can expect 5-10cm Saturday night / Sunday morning

Too much disruption for too many people, great for kids, not really for much else. I have to drive to work, I can't get a train as they stop working long before my car would. It would take 4 buses and over two hours to get there assuming they worked.

That is a failing of our society. I drive 22 miles to work and during the last snowstorm (2 years ago) I drove everyday to work in dire circumstance. Why? Cos I have had experience in driving in those conditions. Most of todays drivers would shit themselves if their card slid 1cm on ice.

Christ, I remember when the heavens opened up on Basingstoke and over 50 people from HO were stranded, I still managed to get home. I actually love driving in the snow, it is great fun. Forgetting the driving I also love the way it changes our landscape/environment to be a clean pristine environment which seems to bring out the joy in everyone. Kids and adults seem to love it Snow = happy people deep down.

English please. Thanks.

oh nelly! minus six degrees ? I do declare, that is cold...how inconvenient for you.

 

[Ch3tan]

I'm happy driving in the snow on treated or semi treated roads, however I have to navigate side roads and hills to get to the main roads, and they are just ice when it snows.

And snow = lots of people who can't get to where they need to go, especially the elderly.

Let's not forget the damage to the roads it leaves once its cleared to.

Yeah snow, great stuff.

 

[Olgaline]

English please. Thanks.

Oh geez! like minus six yeah ? thats bloody cold innit' glad that aint me!

 

[Deebs]

That is much better thanks For the UK this is bordering on total shutdown...

 

[caLLous]

I have been testing the Michelin equivalent of Autosocks today, they really are very good. And SO much easier than fucking about with snow-chains and the losing all sensation in your hands from trying to put them on.

So do I, the point is that most of the UK drivers have no experience in driving in wet/icy conditions. I have spent several hours on a skidpan learning to drive in different conditions.

How many fucking times do you have to reply to the same message? I feel sorry for the ants and flies that live near you. At least you make them intelligent.

Snow is more important than work.

Fuck work*. Bring the snow on

I never actually tried the Autosocks but as I understand it it's like a fabric cover for the tyre with rubber grippy bits stuck on? The Michelin Easy Grip is like a net of cord that surrounds the tyre..

...no idea which is better but I was pleasantly surprised at how much these helped me out today, especially on an incline.
