Snow Watch

not a single snow flake in harlow

First snow of the season fell in Walsall (M6 J9) last night:

Not much left now though, but it's bloomin cold.

no snow,,,,but monsoon rain for the last 24 hrs,,,,,,,,, :shock:

Had loads of snow here in Durham. Have had it most of the week, and forecast for another 8 inches tonight.

We've had a bit in N Lincs and I've been over to sheffield today and they've had a bit as well.

Coming back tonight the temp thing went down to -4.5 at the lowest. Windsreen wash was freezing as it hit. The heated nozzles worked well though.

I just checked, and it's -8 :shock:

The snow's getting crazy up in Aberdeen! Just had about 6" fall in the last 3 hours. Police are advising that no roads are passable. Cars stuck all over the place. I rescued a few and gave an elderly couple a lift home cos there were no taxis or buses and they had about 5 miles to go. Even had the police close the motorway while i pulled somebody off the central reservation of the motorway out of aberdeen after they span out. My good samaritan acts for the day

Made £20 out of it too :mrgreen:

One thing i've never seen before is thunder and lightning in a blizzard!?! Apparently its been knocking power out all over the place!

FOOOOOKING HELL !!!!!

At 4.30am this morning, at our Stables In Crewe (CW2) it was ..............

MINUS 14 !!!!!

foot of snow where i live my steet is a no go zone for cars :lol:

After being busy working for what seems like weeks i finally get some free time and everyone else get some snow apart from me :-(

(

Narrr still no snow here, clear blue skies and icicles off my shed, its colder in our porch than the fridge :shock:

Warming the scouse in it as we speaks :lol:

Crikey!!

We went to grimsby to tesco earlier and our road had a bit but the main road was clear. About 50 mins doing a shop and came out to find 2 to 3 inches everywhere!!!!

Main roads were clogged and even the motorway out was covered well!!

The truck was ace though. Even in 2wd mode the BFG AT's were great. Stuck like the proverbial. Gently cruised through the fresh non slippy stuff in the outer lane (much less slippy than the compacted stuff in the inner lol) and only had to flick the 4wd on when we came to the country roads to get home as you had to guess on the middle as it was solid across. Shreds took a couple of pics on her phone so will see how they come out. Been snowing all afternoon so we up to about 5 to 6 inches now!

Shreds is a nurse and is on nights tonight so she has taken the truck to work as I think she would have struggled in her normal car. Just hope she makes it back in time in the morning for me to go to work. Think her boss thought she might ring in to say we are snowed in (one of the reasons for having the truck). Good news is I've tempted her to the dark side and she now quite fancies a SWB lol. Have to start looking for a b diesel sport for her now lol!!

As i jumped out of my seat at lightening speed to see the snow finally fall i was gutted that the snow flake i saw was infact a leaf.

Ive give up and cracked open a tinnie or two from the porch :drink:
