I think he's finally cracked :eek:

The roads are very icy in this neck of the woods.

Returning from Sainsburys the back of my car spun out on this big roundabout near the 02/Dome.

But being a super-trained rally driver I quickly corrected the vehicle and carried on in a straight line, albeit more cautiously than previously :)

He cracked years ago, lets just pacify him until the men in white coats turn up!:rolleyes:

It was raining earlier, but now turned to snow!
Expecting the snow ploughs & Gritters to go out shortly.
 
Do you see many of those snow critters up your way then Abarbarian? They look friendly enough ;)

We had a bit more snow last night, just enough to cover things lightly... but tonight they promise blizzards :rolleyes:
 
Thats not a critter Taffycat thats a council GRITTER poor chaps been working so hard he's nearly wasted away.

I could not get up and down the hill and I have been snowed in for two days, about 6" and more of snow. Made it out earlier in the afternoon as the farmer cleared the lane with his digger. But I only just slithered me way back up and down the hill to get home.
Ambulance driving had to be cancelled and when I called in to base they told me they had cancelled 80% of journeys and were only dealing with the critical journeys.
They just rang me as they had a patient stuck in Preston who needed to get back to Kendal but I had to turn them down. Hope I can get out tomorrow as I'm on the afternoon dialysis run an I don't like to let those folk down, they have a hard enough life as it is.
I'm supposed to be going to York and all the road options are looking decidedly dodgy at the moment. Them blooming Pennines always get deep snow. Looks like it will be the long route down the M6 and then the M62, an that M62 ain't no picnic in this weather.

Took my girlfriend 5.5 hours to get home last night, usually takes 5-10 minutes! Had to leave the car at the bottom of the road as it was not gritted even though its a main road! :(

Also the power went out at around 9pm, and was still off this morning. Came back on about 11am.

I'm in High Wycombe BTW, and no i didn't sleep at John Lewis's. :)
 
Seems that last night the North West of London got most of the snow.
At Gatwick we only got a flurry for an hour or so, but still the runways were closed!
 
Wow V_R, looks like the traffic got into quite a mess where you are, those icy roads look pretty hazardous. Interesting pic link :thumb:

Here is what it looks like from my back door. Pic taken yesterday but it looks pretty much the same today.

Bloody blimey :eek:

Would make a nice Christmas card, that pic.

No snow here, just lots of ice.
 
We live in the borough of Lambeth,and as far as I can see there has been no gritting of the main roads.The road sweepers put some on the pavements but that is very half hearted,some pavements were done others where not. I bet the rates go up next year.

historian :(

So it will just about cover your budweiser bottles and keep them nice and cool :D
 
Well, another 2 inches of snow overnight and really coming down now. Some of the biggest snowflakes I've ever seen. :eek:

But, at least, it's wet snow and it's now 3.5 degrees outside. :)
